The album received mostly positive reviews from critics. Behindwoods rated the album 3.25/5 stating that "Remo's music is definitely a Cupid's arrow from Anirudh". [17] IndiaGlitz rated the album 3.5 out of 5, with a verdict "Some beats, a little melody, and a whole lot of fun, Remo is soulful jukebox. Another badge on young man's shoulder, Anirudh's Remo album shakes up the inner spirit and gets your heart lively and beating. Here we look forward to the movie even more cheerfully now!" [18] Cinemaplus News gave a favourable review with a statement "Entertaining and engaging!" [19] Top 10 Cinema rated that "Anirudh comes up with some energetic numbers, but in many places they sound so much stereotypical as his erstwhile numbers. Maybe for certain seasons, teen audiences would love his musical score, but he has to attempt trying with different genres". [20] Moviecrow rated the album 3 out of 5 and stated "Anirudh delivers another fun filled album which is sure to satiate the fans and though devoid of standout experimental tracks, the feel of the album is vibrant enough to elevate the overall mood of the movie." [21] Studioflicks rated the album 3 out of 5, and stated "Remo songs completely belong to the usual style of Anirudh as he ritually comes up with the tunes to savour the teen groups. But it would be nicer if he can redirect towards different musical genres rather than playing the same tunes to his fans, which might get time worn after some time." [22] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog stated "Anirudh makes all the right moves in the music of Remo!." [23]
The song "Senjitaley" irked criticism for the glorification of stalking in the song. According to Sudhir Srinivasan, in an article on The Hindu , he stated about the lines from the song "Enakku nee easy-ah laam venaam[...]" which romanticises harassment. [24] The News Minute summarised about this stating "The comments section on YouTube has discussions on the music and how good the song is but barely anything on how problematic it is." [25]
The tracklist of the film was released in the form of an album preview on 1 September 2016, through the official YouTube channel of Sony Music India. [26] The full soundtrack album was released directly through iTunes on 5 September 2016, without hosting any formal launch event. [27]
