Critic Rajiv Vijayakar from Bollywood Hungama gave the album a rating of 3 out of 5 and stated "some tracks will help the film, some will be helped by the film, but the rest are largely fillers. With four of the nine tracks being re-creations, the score gets a fillip in theory."[10] Kasmin Fernandes of The Times of India gave a rating of 4 and commented that "the originals stand out more than adaptations here."[11] Joginder Tuteja of Rediff.com gave the soundtrack three stars and wrote "the music of Ek Paheli Leela has a good mix of party and romantic numbers. It's the original numbers in the soundtrack that do better than the adapted versions. Play this one when you want some variety; it has a good mix of party and romantic numbers."[12] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Dr.Zeus alone unravels this paheli."[13] Track listing
