Reagan Gavin Rasquinha, writing for The Times of India, gave Party Never Ends three out of five stars. In a more mixed review, he described the album as "more like a collection of individual dance tracks rather than a cohesive body of music". He went on commending "In Your Eyes" as radio-friendly, "Live Your Life", "Caliente" and "More than Friends", while criticizing "Inndia" for being passable and "Shining Star" as mediocre.[9]
