Despite the fact that the soundtrack was acclaimed by critics,[http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/local-papers/kapi-mana-news/entertainment/8262841/ALBUM-REVIEW-Tarantino-magic-in-Django-soundtrack ALBUM REVIEW: Tarantino magic in Django soundtrack], stuff.co.nz, Kickin' Back, February 5, 2013 Ennio Morricone, who composed a brand new song for Django Unchained, stated that Tarantino used the music "without coherence" and he "wouldn’t like to work with him again, on anything".[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/italian-composer-morricone-slams-tarantino-428954 Italian Composer Ennio Morricone: I'll Never Work With Tarantino Again], hollywoodreporter.com, Eric J. Lyman, March 15, 2013 That was the first collaboration between the Italian composer and the American filmmaker, even though Tarantino had used Morricone's music in Kill Bill, Death Proof, and Inglourious Basterds. Ennio Morricone quickly released a statement clarifying that his remarks were taken out of context,[http://www.ew.com/article/2013/03/18/ennio-morricone-is-not-feuding/ Ennio Morricone Is Not Feuding With Quentin Tarantino Over 'Django' song--EXCLUSIVE], Entertainment Weekly.com, Lindsey Bahr, March 18, 2013 Morricone said that he has "great respect for Tarantino" and that he is "glad he chooses my music"[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ennio-morricone-clarifies-remarks-about-quentin-tarantino-20130319 Ennio Morricone Backs Off From Quentin Tarantino Insult: Famed composer says comments were misconstrued], rollingstone.com, Jon Blistein, March 19, 2013 Morricone also said that because Tarantino chooses his music "it is a sign of artistic brotherhood."[https://www.spin.com/2013/03/ennio-morricone-quentin-tarantino-django-unchained-beef/ Ennio Morricone Says Quentin Tarantino 'Django' Beef Was Overdone: "I have a great respect for Tarantino...I am glad he chooses my music, a sign of artistic brotherhood."], spin.com, Chris Martins, March 18, 2013[http://www.vulture.com/2013/03/ennio-morricone-quentin-tarantino.html Composer Ennio Morricone Respects Quentin Tarantino After All], Vulture.com, Zach Dionne, March 19, 2013 Morricone went on to compose the score to Tarantino's next film, The Hateful Eight.

In a scholarly essay on the film's music, Hollis Robbins notes that the vast majority of film music borrowings come from films made between 1966 and 1974 and argues that the political and musical resonances of these allusions situate Django Unchained squarely in the Vietnam and Watergate era, during the rise and decline of Black Power cinema.{{cite journal | url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17533171.2015.1057022 | doi=10.1080/17533171.2015.1057022 | title=Django Unchained: Repurposing Western Film Music | date=2015 | last1=Robbins | first1=Hollis | journal=Safundi | volume=16 | issue=3 | pages=280–290 | s2cid=143313188 | url-access=subscription }}
