==Development==
In June 2012, [[A. R. Rahman]] was signed on to compose songs and the background score. He agreed to compose after the script was re-written entirely in English by Rai and the former kept the script personally.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report_only-english-for-ar-rahman_1701620 | title = Only English for AR Rahman! | author= Prachi Kadam| work = DNA India | date=13 June 2012 |access-date=20 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-07/news-and-interviews/32099930_1_ar-rahman-music-maestro |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120610044028/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-06-07/news-and-interviews/32099930_1_ar-rahman-music-maestro |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 June 2012 | title = Rahman to make music for Dhanush | date=7 June 2012 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=7 June 2012}}</ref> The composition of the song "Banarasiya" was ready by September 2012 but was not recorded with a singer as Rai felt that no vocals matched with Sonam Kapoor's voice.

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
The soundtrack received positive critical reception.

Bryan Durham of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the album 4 out of 5 and summarized, "In totality, it also needs to be said that if Rahman's music is the language of this film, it would be quite short on a vocabulary without Irshad Kamil's beautiful lyrics."<ref name=toiians>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-13/music-reviews/39833713_1_sad-song-lyrics-keerti-sagathia|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130707060439/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-13/music-reviews/39833713_1_sad-song-lyrics-keerti-sagathia|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 July 2013| title =Raanjhanaa|author=Bryan Durham|date=13 June 2013|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=14 June 2013}}</ref> Jyoti Prakash of [[Box Office India|Indian Box Office Online]] also gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and said, "The music of ''Raanjhanaa'' is of supreme quality. A typical AR Rahman album which is romantic and entertaining yet pure and divine." Music Aloud critic Vipin assigned the soundtrack 8 out of 10 and noted, "A mixed bag from ARR that is more urbane than folk-classical."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicaloud.com/2013/06/01/raanjhanaa-music-review-bollywood-soundtrack/|title=RAANJHANAA – MUSIC REVIEW (BOLLYWOOD SOUNDTRACK)|work =Music Aloud|date=1 June 2013|access-date=14 June 2013}}</ref> Kaushik Ramesh of Planet Bollywood gave the album 7/10.

R. Rahman, who proves his detractors wrong with an album that captures the energy of its city and its lovestruck Raanjhana. The songs may just take time to grow on the listener, but that's the joy in it, to savour all of the arrangements and voices that add up to a terrific and rustic album for the ages."<ref>{{cite web| url=http://bollyspice.com/60844/raanjhanaa-music-review | title=Review (Bolly Spice) | access-date=13 June 2013}}</ref> Sakhayan Ghosh of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' summarized, "Irshad Kamil's lyrics provide a perfect foil to the music.

He gave the album 3.5 out of 5 and added that the music "works quite well as a packaged affair".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.movietalkies.com/movies/reviews/music/20371/raanjhanaa|title=Raanjhanaa Music Review|work =Movie Talkies|author=Joginder Tuteja|date=3 June 2013|access-date=16 June 2013}}</ref> [[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]] gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and observed, "Like any other album, the music of ''Raanjhanaa'' has few low points, but otherwise it is thoroughly entertaining."<ref name=toiians/><ref>{{cite web | url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/raanjhanaa-music-review-the-album-glorifies-love-in-a-unique-way/397203-45-76.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130612002758/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/raanjhanaa-music-review-the-album-glorifies-love-in-a-unique-way/397203-45-76.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=12 June 2013 | title='Raanjhanaa' Music Review: The album glorifies love in a unique way | access-date=13 June 2013}}</ref> At [[Koimoi]], critic Manohar Basu rated the album 3 on 5 and noted, "Very unlikely to be a Rahman composition, the music yet again lacks a soul stirring capability which made him a maverick once!
