== Reception ==
Initially, the soundtrack garnered mixed responses from critics and listeners. ''Moviecrow'' rated 2.5/5 to the soundtrack and stated that the album "lacks freshness and the weakest album from the duo that fails to live up to the expectations."<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Thiruchitrambalam Songs - Music Review |url=https://www.moviecrow.com/News/30925/thiruchitrambalam-songs---music-review |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=www.moviecrow.com}}</ref> In contrast, critic Siddharth Srinivas had stated "Anirudh has a created a major impact with the songs in his earlier albums of the year, but the same cannot be said about Thiruchitrambalam. The album is a lightweight and breezy soundtrack that is in line with his other albums such as Thangamagan, and keeps us entertained for its runtime. Hopefully, it will fly bigger with the film."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Srinivas |first=Siddarth |date=2022-08-17 |title=Thiruchitrambalam Songs Review |url=https://www.onlykollywood.com/thiruchitrambalam-songs-review/ |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=Only Kollywood |language=en-US}}</ref> However, the songs "Megham Karukatha" and "Life of Pazham" received a more favorable response from critics.<ref name=":2" />

However, following the film's release, the album and musical score received more positive response, akin to the film.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Athimuthu |first=Soundarya |date=2022-08-18 |title='Thiruchitrambalam' Review: Dhanush, Nithya Menen Deliver a Feel-good Drama |url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/thiruchitrambalam-dhanush-nithya-menen-mithran-r-jawahar-rashi-khanna-priya-bhavani-shankar-movie-review-feel-good-drama |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=TheQuint |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last1=ChennaiAugust 18 |first1=Janani K. |last2=August 18 |first2=2022UPDATED |last3=Ist |first3=2022 14:03 |title=Thiruchitrambalam Movie Review: What happens after death?

Thiruchitrambalam (Dhanush) is a fan of the maestro and every important moment in his life — sad or happy — is accentuated by the maestro's music. Anirudh has captured the attention of audiences with Thaikelavi and Megham Karukkadha, but the background score does seem stale. In fact, many instances take us back to ''[[Thanga Magan (2015 film)|Thangamagan]]''."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-08-21 |title=Thiruchitrambalam: Dhanush-starrer is a soft and sensitive portrayal of overcoming trauma-Opinion News , Firstpost |url=https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/thiruchitrambalam-movie-review-dhanush-starrer-is-a-soft-and-sensitive-portrayal-of-overcoming-trauma-11087231.html |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=Firstpost |language=en}}</ref>

Reviewing Anirudh's score, [[Sowmya Rajendran]] of ''[[The News Minute]]'' wrote "Anirudh's background score complements the subtle, unheroic tone of the film. The music director has made a name for himself for the adrenaline pumping scores of star vehicles, but in this film he shows that he can be restrained and mellow when needed." She further praised the picturisation of the song "Megham Karukatha" further stating that it "brings back memories of "Vennilave Vennilave" from ''[[Minsara Kanavu]]''".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-08-18 |title=Thiruchitrambalam review: A wholesome, enjoyable romcom with Dhanush and Nithya |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/thiruchitrambalam-review-wholesome-enjoyable-romcom-dhanush-and-nithya-166968 |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=The News Minute |language=en}}</ref> S.
