The reviewer for Screen called the music in the film "reall different" and wrote, "The songs may not appeal in the first hearing, but a repeat hearing will surely have you addicted." They commended Aditya Narayan's work and wrote that he "bowls you over" and that the "tongue-twisting lyrics are faultlessly rendered". They further wrote, "Hariharan renders the fast-paced "Bhaaga Sa" competently. Gulzar's endearing lyrics, with unusual punning, bring a smile to your lips. Vishal is at his innovative best."
