The orchestration is mostly minimal, but the lasting effect is created with ease. Although the soundtrack does impress on the whole, Santhosh must be lauded for using Dhee in the right way in Ei Sandakara and Usuru Narumbula, for she in turn comes out with flying colours. Irudhi Suttru is an album you will want to have on your CD rack."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-01-04|title=Irudhi Suttru Songs Review|url=https://www.onlykollywood.com/irudhi-suttru-songs-review/|access-date=2021-05-30|website=[[Sify]]|language=en-US}}</ref>
