The music received positive reception from critics and audience. Reviewing the soundtrack album, Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama rated album with 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "The music of Housefull 4 is just the kind that one expects from Housefull franchise. By and large it's the kind that goes with the pace of the narrative and stays along as the accompanying partner." [32] Komal Nahta of Film Information wrote "Music (by Sohail Sen; guest composers Farhad Samji, Sandeep Shirodkar and Panjabi Hit Squad (U.K.)) is hit. The ‘Bala’, ‘Chhammo’ and ‘Ek chumma’ songs are very appealing. Lyrics (by Sameer Anjaan and Farhad Samji) are in synch with the mood of the film. Choreography (by Farah Khan, Ganesh Acharya and Chinni Prakash) is very eye-filling. Julius Packiam’s background music is impactful." [33]
Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times said "While Housefull 4 music is ordinary, the Ek Chumma song has been beautifully choreographed. Bala – Shaitaan Ka Saala is clearly the highlight with its lame yet catchy lyrics." [34] Critics at the board of Bollywood Hungama wrote "Julius Packiam's background score is theatrical and the recurring theme is catchy." [35]
Reviewing the soundtrack album, DJ Munks of BizAsia rated album with 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "The soundtrack of ‘Housefull 4’ is funny & cheesy no doubt! Limited by the appeal of the film there is only so much one can do to make the music fit with the film while also delivering on the listen ability parameters that define the success of the music album. Nonetheless the soundtrack is unique in the current times as it does not run after the typical remakes and dance and romantic numbers. It truly is a soundtrack for this film and fits well there keeping a different identity for itself. [36]
