Critical reception

Bollywood Hungama wrote in its review, "There is a surprise in store though with 'Radha', the title itself being seemingly misfit in the scheme of affairs. Once Shreya Ghoshal begins her rendition with lyrics that go as 'Gopiyon Sang Ghoome Kanhaiya', you end up wondering how it would actually fit into the milieu that Karan Johar has created for Student Of The Year. Well, as it turns out, this was just a prelude to what was actually in the offering. It's a mix of English and Hindi lyrics that drive the proceedings further, what with Vishal-Shekhar coming on their own (even as singers) and creating a fun dance number that results in an engaging and entertaining outing."[1]
