"Television's greatest series deserves a great soundtrack album," says David Wiegand in the San Francisco Chronicle, "and that's what it gets in The Wire ... and all the pieces matter, a brilliant compilation ..." Giving the soundtrack "Wild Applause," Wiegand writes in his review that even having the different seasons' versions of the show's theme song, Tom Waits's "Way Down in the Hole," on the album "is worth the price of the CD, but the real finds are the club and hip-hop groups from Baltimore." Those tracks also appear on a separate release, Beyond Hamsterdam.
