Maggie of Twist magazine praised the album, stating "we're super stoked to hear it". [78] The joint website of Bop and Tiger Beat described the album as "awesome" and declared that it did the show "justice", mentioning that the "songs on this album are so catchy", while opining that "they will almost definitely get stuck in your head for hours". [79] Bob Hoose and Steven Isaac for Plugged In stated that Victorious: Music from the Hit TV Show has a "collection of ditties" that have "well-rehearsed, clean-sounding vocals, backdropped by catchy tunes". [9] They thought that the songs in the album sounded like a "well-produced derivatives of other songs you may have heard resting at the top of the charts lately". [9]

Joe DeAndrea of AbsolutePunk gave the album a 72 percent rating, opining the songs in it "aren't even all that bad". He stated that the songs featuring Justice "could work perfectly as Katy Perry or Pink material" and could be a "staple of your summer". [7] In a more negative review, AllMusic's William Ruhlmann rated the album three stars out of five, saying that "what really matters is what Justice and her earnest fellow cast members look like, not what they sound like, especially given the cookie-cutter nature of this music". [6] Kyle Anderson for Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B− rating. [8] He remarked that Justice and the Victorious cast "dress-up with a closetful of song and personality styles, but never find the right fit". [8] Anderson noted that Justice is "best as the prom queen scorned", but felt she "otherwise gets lost in a mirror maze of impeccably dull tween popcraft". [8]
