The film was nominated for Best Original Song at the 1998 Academy Awards.[3] Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics and failed to match the financial success of its predecessor, grossing only $69.1 million on a $90 million budget.[4] The film has developed a cult following and a positive critical reassessment since its release.[5][6]
