The soundtrack garnered positive reviews from almost all critics.

There are some that require strong word of mouth to carry them forward. There are some which are destined to be popular in the very first listening. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom of course belongs to the last category.[4] Sukanya Verma of Rediff described the album as high on melody, entertainment and attitude.[7] Gianysh Toolsee of Planet Bollywood in his review, stated, "SEL successfully manage to hit the bull’s eye with their proper use of zingy sounds, effective arrangements, lively tunes, rhythmic variations and groovy beats."[5] "SEL, the most prolific composers of last year maintains their golden streak of success with JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM.", said the GlamSham review. Sanjay Ram of Businessofcinema.com stated that that the album is positively a must buy.[6]
