Initially, Yuvan planned to release a single from the album on Deepavali, following the success of Vaanam ("Evan Di Unna Pethan") and Mankatha ("Vilaiyaadu Mankatha").[2] However, the plan did not materialise. The soundtrack was launched on 23 November 2011 at the Anna Centenary Auditorium in Kotturpuram, Chennai, with Vikram, Suseenthiran, Yuvan and the rest of the cast and crew in attendance.[9][10] The album for the Telugu version, Veedinthe, was however released two days prior.[11] The release coincided with a launch event held at Taj Deccan in Hyderabad by director V. V. Vinayak, with other noted Telugu film directors S. S. Rajamouli, Krish and badminton player Jwala Gutta being present along with the cast and crew.[12][13]
Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog noted "Rajapaattai sees Yuvan explore a new sound and move closer to his illustrious dad's legacy – if not tune-wise, at least sound-wise."[14] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu added "Among Yuvan's numbers 'Paniyae Pani Poovae' alone passes muster. But his title score makes you nod in appreciation."[15] In a negative review, CNN-IBN said "Yuvan Shankar Raja disappoints with his songs."[16] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com wrote "Perhaps realising the futility of the project, Yuvan Shankar Raja hasn't troubled himself to provide great songs."[17]
