== Reception ==
The soundtrack received positive reviews from music critics. Pavithra Srinivasan of ''[[Rediff]]'' gave a two and a half out of five rating and said "Like some of Yuvan's most recent albums, ''Vaanam'' too, scores in some areas: the number Vaanam and Who am I. The rest fall into the Yuvan template, while the appeal of Evandi Unnai Pethan is almost purely its in-your-face lyrics. For those who hoped for melodious numbers, this one might prove a dampener".<ref name="rf">{{Cite web |date=15 April 2011 |title=Review: Vaanam music has mixed appeal |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/music-review-vaanam/20110415.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110829084753/http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/music-review-vaanam/20110415.htm |archive-date=29 August 2011 |access-date=18 August 2011 |website=[[Rediff.com]]}}</ref> Vipin Nair of ''Music Aloud'' rated 6.75 out of 10 to the album and wrote "Yuvan Shankar Raja sticks to the regular Simbu template in ''Vaanam''<nowiki/>'s soundtrack as well but fails to match the usual quality."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nair |first=Vipin |date=2011-04-01 |title=Vaanam (Tamil Movie) – Music Review |url=https://www.musicaloud.com/2011/03/23/vaanam-tamil-movie-music-review/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140331183423/https://www.musicaloud.com/2011/03/23/vaanam-tamil-movie-music-review/ |archive-date=2014-03-31 |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Music Aloud}}</ref>
