Reception
The Audio received positive response. Anjali of Cinegoer.net wrote "Aarya had time to be one of the best albums of DSP and Aarya 2 might fare the same way, given time and commercially, depending also on the movie's fate. Overall, a good album this season, with 4 out of the given 8 numbers sure to top charts, two being repeats and two average numbers including the item song. An asset for the movie, Aarya 2's music sure enough reaches expectations" and rated the album 3.5/5.[6] raagalahari.com gave a review stating "In the end I felt that this Tollywood’s most promising music composer came up with yet another pretty damn awesome album. Go buy it now from your nearest music shop if you are music lover."[7] Karthik of Milliblog concluded "It could be massive expectations…what else could explain the dud that Devi Sri Prasad produces for Aarya 2."[8] Super Good Movies gave a review stating "We can listen to this audio at least once. After listening this you would definitely love it. If you observe there would be no duet songs between the main leads in this movie as in Arya. This is an A class album and mass people would definitely love Ringa Ringa song. Repeated hearing of songs would make this album a big hit."[9] Sirasri of greatandhra.com gave a review stating "Overall, the album has got all trendy songs and there are no slow numbers. Two songs (‘Ringa Ringa’ and ‘He loves you so much’) are absolutely brilliant in terms of composition, lyrics and vocals and they make buying the CD worth. The youth audience will be able to relate to this very well and since the audio is already causing a positive feel, the expectations on the film are high as well" and rated the album 3.25/5.[10]
