早期作品
沃尔顿早期的作品（如《门面》）比较激进，但是不久之后他的风格趋向保守，尤其是他的电影配乐和皇家式音乐，充满了埃尔加特色的贵族风范。其中包括1931年他根据圣经但以理书部份内容而创作的清唱剧《伯沙撒王的宴会》，此曲亦成为他继《门面》后另一首为世人所认识的作品。及后他同时有份参电影配乐，最有名的包括曾获得奥斯卡最佳影片奖的《哈姆雷特》的配乐。劳伦斯·奥利维尔是他的重要合作伙伴。他的两部交响曲是音乐会上经常上演的作品。他为大提琴、中提琴和小提琴各写了一部协奏曲。
晚期作品
沃尔顿晚年主要是为其早期作品进行修改或重新配器。他曾多次尝试为指挥家安德烈·普列文谱写第三交响曲，但最后都放弃。在世时，他对指责他的音乐过于保守及不合时宜的评论而耿耿于怀。但他死后，人们重新评价他的音乐，认为他的音乐表露强烈但吸引人的个人主义色彩。
