The film's soundtrack album received mostly positive reviews from critics and listeners, becoming one of the biggest hits in Telugu music.^[31]

123telugu stated that "There is no denying the fact that the music album of Ala Vaikunthapuramlo is the best in recent times. Thaman is in the form of his life and churns out a blockbuster album that everyone looks forward from a big film. Every song is special and has its own charm. Very rarely does it happen that all the songs of an album click in a big way and Ala Vaikunthapuramlo is one example. The songs have taken the film’s buzz to another level and Thaman needs to be especially credited for doing a terrific job."^[32]

IndiaGlitz wrote that "This one is one of the best from Thaman and carries features of carnivalesque and soulful music. One of the most riveting coming together of singers and lyricists".^[33]
