AllMusic regarded the album , '' A Kind of Magic '' , as a best work .
Kerrang ! s Paul Henderson wondered `` how much of the album is the 'real ' Queen and how much is the result of the constraints/musical slant imposed upon them by writing material to go with a movie '' , concluding that `` only a band of Queen 's stature ( ... ) could put out an album of such diverse songs without disappointing a sizeable portion of their fans '' .
