What sets it apart from its predecessor is the presence of Gaelic whistles and fiddles, as well as a fiery electric guitar that adds a dash of rock & roll to Howard's otherwise conventional symphonic sensibilities. It is, perhaps, less of a tribute to the music's descriptive powers than a result of the familiarity of Disney's musical conventions that the listener feels they would be able to guess the plot without ever having seen the film This soundtrack is certainly workmanlike and inoffensive, but there's little buried treasure awaiting anyone digging beneath the surface." Jason Ankeny of Allmusic wrote " Treasure Planet is pure Disney formula, balancing rousing action, cornball comedy, and bittersweet romance in bold, broad strokes. Writing for BBC, Jack Smith stated "James Newton Howard's score is firmly in the old-fashioned escapade mould, more swash and buckle than Space Odyssey.
"Always Know Where You Are (Film Version)" Jerry Goldsmith, who previously worked with the studio on Mulan (1998), was also considered to compose the score. Originally, Alan Silvestri was supposed to compose the film's score, but he dropped of it and went on to score another film for Walt Disney Animation Studios, Lilo & Stitch (2002). The Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik performed both the tracks in the film version, whereas the latter was recorded by the British pop-rock group, BBMak, which was featured in the soundtrack. The music includes two moderately successful pop singles - " I'm Still Here" and "Always Know Where You Are". Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser is credited as the co-composer of the track "Silver Leaves", and is also listed as a soloist in the film's credits.

The score has been described as a mixture of modern "classical style" music in the spirit of Star Wars and Celtic music. The music from the film is largely orchestral in nature. The film marked Howard's third collaboration with Walt Disney Animation Studios he previously scored for Dinosaur (2000) and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). The film's score received positive critical reception, with praise directed on Howard's composition. Walt Disney Records released the film's soundtrack album on November 19, 2002. The album features seventeen tracks – fifteen tracks from the score composed by James Newton Howard, and also featured two pop singles: " I'm Still Here" and "Always Know Where You Are".

The last thing I needed was the hotel staff bustling in to help me move to a different floor.”
It was 11 a.m., I’d been up all night and there were drugs everywhere. “I absolutely was crazy and deluded enough to ring the international manager of Rocket, Robert Key, and ask him to do something about the wind outside my hotel room. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that, because the story is completely true. “This is obviously the ideal moment to state once and for all that this story is a complete urban myth,” John said, “that I was never crazy enough to ask my record company to do something about the weather - that I was simply disturbed by the wind and wanted to change rooms to somewhere quieter.
