While it's not quite as immediate as the Snatch soundtrack or as groundbreaking as the Dust Brothers' Fight Club score, Ocean's 11 is a tight, kinetic collection of film music that's just as enjoyable outside of the movie's context.
-
As savvy and sophisticated as the movie itself.
-
Over fifty minutes of slick, loungey, cinematic music.
-
It's fine for what it is, but someone decided to spice things up with annoying snippets of film dialogue, which help to derail the flow.

MojoHolmes is scrabbling throught he ashes of Vegas strip supper-club jazz to craft a decidedly 21st century soundtrack, mourning its passing while happily rifling its pockets. [Album of the Month, Feb 2002, p.90]

As good as Holmes' original material is, however, what's most impressive about the Ocean's Eleven soundtrack is the way in which Holmes uses it to weave together the hodge-podge of cool sounds he's culled from other artists.
-
What on paper sounds like an awkward hotch-potch, actually makes for an hugely enticing, fluid record.
