Reception

The album received positive reviews from critics. Neetishta Nyayapati of The Times of India , reviewed as "The album of Jersey is a must-listen, especially if you like albums that offer variety. The OST refreshingly sticks to the themes of the film, instead of meandering with regular sounding romantic and dance numbers." [17] 123Telugu gave a verdict stating "The music of Jersey is a mixed bag as it has all kinds of numbers. The feel of the album is mostly emotional and all the songs are situational and carry the film forward. This is not the regular song and dance album which will hit you right away. The songs will please you more once you see them on screen." [18]

Indiaglitz rated the album 3.5 out of 5 and wrote "The genres are different, Anirudh's tunes are a whiff of fresh air.  The singers sound 'hatke' everywhere. The situations lend themselves to lyrics laced with high meaning." [19] Moviecrow gave a rating of 3.75 out of 5 and stated "Anirudh hits right out of the park in his second Telugu film after Agnyathavaasi and Ananthakrishnan's (Violinist and sound engineer) combination with Anirudh continues to give splendid result in the overall soundtrack quality from the composer." [20] Critic based at Mirchi9 stated the album as "a classy treat with neatly blended melody" and further added: "the songs are beautiful, and upon repeat hearings, they will stay with the listener for a long time [...] The issue here is not the quality rather the popularity. The songs, for all the beautiful words, are not chartbuster types. They also lack mass appeal. Irrespective of how the album fares, the mere presence needs to be appreciated." [21]

Writing for the news publication The Hindu , Krishna Sripada listed "Adhento Gaani Vunnapaatuga" as one of the 'Best Telugu Songs of the Decade (2010–2019)'. According to Sripada, "the 2010s saw a great mix of Telugu film albums that appealed for both their commercial as well as new-age sounds". [22] Srivatsan Nadathur, listed the tracks "Adhento Gaani Vunnapaatuga" and "Spirit of Jersey" in the "Top 10 Telugu Songs of 2019" to The Times of India. [23]
