== Reception ==
The soundtrack album, especially the songs "Veyyon Silli" and "Kaattu Payale" received positive response from listeners. Reviewing for the former, ''Behindwoods'' stated that the song is enjoyable, similar to the another famous hit "Othayadi Pathayile" from ''[[Kanaa (film)|Kanaa]]'' (2018). In their review, it stated "The song is well composed as it clearly makes you want to get from your sedentary position and tap your foot. The song has a rural background in its instrumental arrangement in the second layer if you pay attention and also employs good percussion to suit the current trends. When you have a powerful singer like Harish, it makes sense to leverage it and that is what GV Prakash has done by making use of his vocals in the interludes as well. The violin interlude does play a role the second time around and that is one of the highlights of the song."<ref>{{Cite web|date=15 February 2020|title=Soorarai Pottru – Veyyon Silli music review {{!}} Suriya {{!}} G.V.

Reviewing for the soundtrack album, Vipin Nair of ''Music Aloud'' gave the album 4 out of 5 stating "G V Prakash Kumar has been on a pretty productive composing run these past couple of years, but in Soorarai Pottru he delivers his best soundtrack in a long time!"<ref>{{Cite web|date=18 November 2020|title=Soorarai Pottru – Music Review (Tamil Movie Soundtrack)|url=https://www.musicaloud.com/2020/11/17/soorarai-pottru-music-review-tamil-movie-soundtrack/|access-date=18 December 2020|website=Music Aloud}}</ref>

== Controversy ==
On September 2020, a petition was filed against the makers on the [[Madras High Court]], about the song "Mannurunda" which had lyrics featuring offensive lines. The petitioner pointed out the lines: "Keezh saadhi udambukulla odurathu saakadaya? Andha mel saadhi kaaranuku rendu kombirundha kaatungaiya" (Is it drainage that runs in the body of a lower caste person? Show if that upper caste person has two horns), and queried that these lines could disrupt peace between two castes and create unwanted political tensions.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-16|title=Case against Suriya's 'Soorarai Pottru', HC directs cops to take appropriate action|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/case-against-suriyas-soorarai-pottru-hc-directs-cops-take-appropriate-action-133224|access-date=2021-01-10|website=The News Minute|language=en}}</ref> Although, ''Indiaglitz'' in its review for the song (dated 9 March 2020), stated that "the song slaps hard on casteism and disparities".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-03-09|title=Suriya's 'Mannurunda' song from 'Soorarai Pottru' slaps hard on casteism and disparities - News|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/mannurunda-song-single-soorarai-pottru-suriya-g-v-prakash-senthil-ganesh-sudha-kongara--news-255134|access-date=2021-01-10|website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref>
