Reviewing "Srimathi Garu", a critic from Cinema Express called it as "a sweet yet rousing romantic number, with great blend of old-school symphonic sound and contemporary beats". [21] Manoj Kumar R. of Desimartini described the song as a "soulful romantic melody". [22] Trisha Bhattacharya of India Today , while reviewing the title track, described it as "a nostalgic throwback, blending classic beats with contemporary flair." [9] Akhila Menon of OTTPlay added that the song "brings the perfect retro mood to the fun number" complimenting Uthup's vocals. [23]
Divya Nair of Rediff.com described the music "scintillating". [24] Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India wrote "While the songs may lack recall value after leaving the cinema, GV Prakash Kumar's background score significantly enhances the narrative." [25] "GV Prakash Kumar's music creates a great sense of thrill and tension". [26] Balakrishna Ganeshan of The News Minute wrote "Music composer GV Prakash is another asset to the film. His music adds the necessary suspense and ably helps with the proceedings." [27] Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express wrote "Venky and GV Prakash combo create magic once again with Lucky Baskhar". [28]
