== Reception ==
The album received positive response from critics and audiences. Neetishta Nyayapati from ''[[The Times of India]]'', stated "Despite featuring only four numbers, the jukebox of ''Aravindha Sametha'' sets itself apart with its authenticity", however opined that "while the earthiness of the theme comes through the vocals and lyrics, it's missing in Thaman's music."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Music Review: Aravindha Sametha – Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/music/music-review-aravindha-sametha/articleshow/65994109.cms|access-date=24 December 2019|website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> ''[[123Telugu]]'' reviewed it as, "There was a lot of expectation from Thaman as he was teaming up with Trivikram for the first time. But it looks like the ace composer has given importance to the emotions in the film rather than churning out commercial numbers. Peniviti and Anaganaganaga will be chartbusters and are our picks. Finally, the album of Aravinda Sametha is not your regular song and dance album and has been composed to gel with the narrative. It will grow on you slowly after watching the film on the big screen."<ref>{{Cite web|date=20 September 2018|title=Jr NTR Aravinda Sametha Audio Review {{!}} Music Review {{!}} Songs Talk|url=https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/ntr-aravindha-sametha-telugu-music-review.html|access-date=24 December 2019|website=123telugu.com}}</ref> ''Indiaglitz'' rated 3 out of 5 stars, and summarised it as "With just four songs, the album features two mood-based and two generic numbers."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aravindha Sametha Music review songs lyrics|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/aravindha-sametha-songs-review-kannada-movie-22400|access-date=24 December 2019|website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref> ''Cinejosh'' summarised it as "''Aravinda Sametha'' weaves out a melodious album fitting in all the elements for an NTR and Trivikram combo film!"<ref>{{Cite web|title=Aravinda Sametha Audio Review|url=https://www.cinejosh.com/news/1/63340/aravinda-sametha-audio-review.html|access-date=24 December 2019|website=Cine Josh|language=en-us}}</ref>
