[2] [3] He curated several romantic tracks for the album, with the film has a "colourful story" that gave him scope "to challenge and explore[ sic ] in terms of bringing out emotions". [3]

The only criteria for Yuvan was not to resemble any tracks he done previously. [4] The soundtrack to Pyaar Prema Kadhal also had Yuvan collaborating with several singers and lyricists for the first time; which included Vivek, Sid Sriram, Mohan Rajan, Sanjith Hegde, Al Rufian and Teejay Arunasalam.

[14] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog described it as "a delightful follow-up to Irumbuthirai" [15] Ramesh S. Kannan of Moviecrow gave 3 out of 5 stating "Yuvan is unstoppable in this romantic soundtrack that doesn't blink an eye about being cheesy and super cheesy." [16] Anjana Shekar of The News Minute described that "the songs do not get excessive, but instead become one with the story". [17] Ashameera Aiyappan of The Indian Express called the soundtrack as "lovely" and "a fitting Yuvan musical". [18] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South described that "Yuvan's score is refreshingly low-key" and the songs "really set the film's tempo". [19] Gopinath Rajendran of The New Indian Express said that Yuvan "steals the show with his songs as well as the background score" and called "High On Love" as the best from the album. [20]
