A critic based at The Line of Best Fit wrote "The Vampire Diaries OTS is a well-compiled mix from established artists, making it an easy, likeable listen for fans of vampyric creatures and decent music alike."[2] Frank Mojica of Consequence assigned a C- to the album, saying "The Vampire Diaries: Original Television Soundtrack satisfies all these expectations with a hit-or-miss collection of songs. It may not be the most thrilling compilation of the year, but it gets the job done."[3] Charlie Doherty of Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote "The Vampire Diaries: Original Television Soundtrack does a fine job of bringing beauty into the dark vampire world, as heard on the show itself, and including a passable balance of rock and dance-pop tracks."[4] In a three-and-a-half star review, Kim Gillespie of The New Zealand Herald called it as "worth getting your teeth into".[5] Katie Territt of Stereoboard wrote "The songs soundtrack the show's themes perfectly, but also stand up on their own as quaility music made by fantastic artists."[6]
