<i>Written by Thomas Glorieux - Review of the regular release</i>

Of course The Help is full of the familiar Thomas Newman trademarks. We have guitar ("Upside-down Cake", "Heart Palpitations" (feisty), "Jim Crow", ""First White Baby" (relaxing), "My Son"), soft meandering music, gradually moving forward through oboe, piano and strings ("Mississippi", "The Help", "Bottom of the List", "November 22") and by far the most magical inclusions of all, namely the piano playing ("Them Fools", "Write That Down", "Trash on the Road").
Once he delivers a mesmerizing violin moment too, and that track "Constantine" really gets me every time I hear it. "Amen" is lovely and beautiful and the timeless tranquility of "Ain't you tired (End Title)" makes it the perfect final track of the score. Give or take a brief change of pace in "Celia Digs" and a familiar quirky entry in "The Terrible Awful", The Help sounds distinctly Thomas Newman like from start to finish.
