A critic rated the album 2 out of 5 and stated, "The music itself is rather dramatic, and sometimes strident. Almost all the songs, barring one seem to be pitched on the 6-kattai scale, which does not afford much variety in terms of listening".<ref>{{cite web|author=Malathy Sundaram|title=Sindhanai Sei MUSIC REVIEW|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-music-reviews/review-1/sindhanai-sei-11-12-08.html|website=Behindwoods.com|accessdate=16 March 2019}}</ref> A Telugu version of the album was released for the film's dubbed Telugu version.

[[Brindavanam (soundtrack)|''Brindavanam'']] was the most successful composition of all. Released on 12 September 2010, the album received positive reviews. [[Mallemala Entertainments|''123Telugu'']] gave a review stating "Overall the songs of Brindaavanam are fast, most of them soulful, enjoyable and a touch catering to the lovers of mass numbers. Most Telugu music directors have been going the Rahman way focusing on a fast beat while the song is slow. This album is an exception, where the songs are as fast as they can get. Thaman manages to keep everyone interested with his tunes, in spite of the pressure to cater to dance needs of Jr.NTR."<ref>{{cite news|date=16 September 2010|title=Audio Review: Brindaavanam - Jr.NTR - Thaman Dance Special|publisher=123telugu.com|url=http://www.123telugu.com/reviews/audio_reviews/B/Brindavanam/Brindavanam_Audio_Review.html|accessdate=16 February 2014}}</ref>
