Reviews of the nominated score, part of the CD release "Expressing the Inexpressible" include:
“...Rocketboy, has a magical, Elfmanian quality. Again, thematic ideas make the music immediately engaging. Much of this particular score is best described as a cross between Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Edward Scissorhands...” - Steven A. Kennedy, Film Score Monthly.
“...Quirky humour dominates Romayne's score for Rocketboy...and the jaunty tempo of "Something Unusual" is enhanced by the use of expressive, woody vibes and chimes, while ""Accountant's Dream" introduces the film's main theme on chimes, and an appropriately cheesy Ondes Martinot sample that recalls some of Danny Elfman's cheeky music for Tim Burton's early comedies...” - Mark R. Hassan, KQEK.

“It's hard to come out from under the shadow of a cult TV series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, but this compilation CD featuring selections from 8 scores by Douglas Romayne is both a superb promo for the composer's skillful writing, and an addictive album, particularly for film music fans wanting music with a rich, elegant orchestral sound...”
