The album was selected for the 2017 Oprah 's Favorite Things list . By February 23 , 2018 , the track " This Is Me " was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2018 Academy Awards . According to Sky News on March 25 , 2018 , " music critics have put the album 's success down to the feel-good , uplifting pop tunes which are also old school at the same time . " Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com called the 11 songs " memorable , " praising the vocal performances of the leads . The women 's magazine '' Bustle '' gave it a positive review , particularly certain vocal performances . '' Stereogum '' described the soundtrack music as eclectic in its influences , giving it a negative reception for " serving up earnest buoyancy in many high-fructose flavors . " Also noting the eclectic mix of musical genres , '' The Ringer '' writes that " the bombastic tunes mix EDM gleams with stadium-rock grunts , chest-pounding ballads with peppy empowerment anthems , a thoroughly modern and disconcertingly eager post-genre assault designed to barnstorm as many Spotify playlists as possible . It 's a gilded cheese ball , pushing exhilaration to the point of exhaustion . " '' The Guardian '' wrote that the album brought " a whole lot of self-empowerment , enlivened with some deracinated R&B beats , and given the necessary gravitas by some power ballads of the sort that make one imagine the singer filmed from below with a wind machine blowing in their face . " Keala Settle performed " This Is Me " live on '' The Graham Norton Show '' on February 9 , 2018 . Later she performed on '' The Ellen DeGeneres Show '' on February 21 , 2018 . She also performed the song at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony on March 4 , 2018 . Loren Allred performed " Never Enough " live at " Church by the Glades " on April 16 , 2018
