Critical reception
Joginder Tuteja of Rediff.com found the album as a "pleasant surprise" because of its inclusion of hardcore dance numbers,along with a haunting number and romantic melody,which was mandatory for a horror film;he added "as a collective effort,the music should ensure that Sunny Leone's film gets a good head-start on its release in theatres."[7] Bryan Durham of The Times of India rated three-and-a-half out of five,saying "The Ragini MMS 2 works on many levels,with only a few minor kinks."[8]Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "The second Ragini's MMS belongs to Honey Singh".[9]
Suanshu Khurana of The Indian Express stated "the attempt to bring in a host of composers gives us a broth with various fun flavours. But then it only has four songs,two of them with an extra version and one with not much value."[10] Writing for the same website,Priya Adivarekar summarized "the Ragini MMS 2 album is below average,with songs that have very little repeat value."[11] Rajiv Vijayakar of Bollywood Hungama wrote "This is a score that will work for a while. The rating is for the score's commercial prospects. Let's not expect anything lasting or substantial here."[12]
Commercial reception
The success of the film was highly attributed to the music,particularly that of "Baby Doll" and "Chaar Botal Vodka".[13] Priya Gupta of The Times of India listed the album as the fourth-best in the top five listings,[14] and "Baby Doll" topped the year-ender lists,doing the same for the bi-annual and quarterly reports.[15][16] Kanika Kapoor was described as the "impressive talent".[14]
A list of ten popular songs listed by "Hungama.com Chart-toppers 2014" included "Baby Doll";[17][18] the song topped the "Top 10 songs of 2014" by The Indian Express,[19] and also listed it in the year-ender best songs by India Today.[20]
