== Background ==
[[A. R. Rahman]] has retained the [[Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (soundtrack)|same tunes]] from ''[[Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa]]'' and ''[[Ye Maaya Chesave (soundtrack)|Ye Maaya Chesave]]''. The soundtrack album consists of lyrics penned by [[Javed Akhtar]], collaborating with Gautham Menon for the first time. Javed Akhtar replaced Thamarai from ''[[Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa]]'' and Anantha Sriram from ''[[Ye Maaya Chesave]]''. Javed Akhtar had to be in Chennai, to supervise the script and writing the lyrics for the film. A source close to the development said, "Javed saab and Gautham hit it off well. The lyricist's inputs will be taken into consideration as Gautham is particular that his film should not come across as a routine South Indian remake."
Clinton Cerejo sings Phoolon Jaisi instead of Omana Penne.

The album received positive reviews from the critics. ''Glamsham'' stated "''Ekk Deewana Tha'' is one of the finest A. R Rahman's works that delivers "deewangi" of music in all possible expressions that is conveyed through this eternal love saga" and rated 4 out of 5.<ref name="Glamsham"/> The lyrics did face some criticism though, Music Aloud saying - "A soundtrack that will take much getting used to for people who are crazy about Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya, due mainly to Javed Akhtar."<ref name="music aloud"/> ''Musicperk.com'' rated the music album 8/10 quoting "If you are a first time listener, you will LOVE this! For those who are already in love with VTV and YMC songs, you should probably take the instrumentals and the first song alone".<ref name="music perk"/>

Joginder Tuteja of ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' rated the album 3.5 out of 5 and stated "''Ekk Deewana Tha'' is a very good album and a wholesome musical experience. Except for 'Kya Hai Mohabbat' (which ironically arrives at the very beginning of the album), rest of the album is fantastic and is a must-hear for those who swear by Rahman's score and also those who may not necessarily be bowled over by each and every work of this."<ref name="Bollywood Hungama"/>

Atta Khan of ''Planet Bollywood'' rated the album 7/10 and stated "''Vinnaithandi Varuvaayaa'' was an award-winning soundtrack that had fans thrilled in Southern India! And after hearing ''Ek Deewana Tha'' you can appreciate why the original Tamil version was such a big hit – songs like "Aromale", "Hosanna" and "Sharminda Hoon" sound refreshing even for the romantic genre!"<ref name="Planet Bollywood"/>
