## Reception

The audio received positive response. 123Telugu wrote "The audio album of Ramayya Vasthavayya is a fusion of melodious and peppy tunes. Jabilli Nuvve Cheppamma, in particular, deserves special mention for being one of the best melodies in NTR’s career. Harish Shankar and Thaman have worked together to come up with a nice platform for NTR to showcase his talent." IndiaGlitz wrote "Ramayya Vasthavayya does sound a very auspicious title. In keeping with the tradition of Dil Raju and the first outing of Raju with NTR, Brindavanam, this audio thoroughly lives up to the expectations. A range of talent dish out the best. The album is perfect in that Ranjith mesmerises as much as Shankar Mahadevan does. And Sri Mani is as good as Bhaskarabhatla." way2movies.com wrote "All in all, Ramayya Vasthavayya album is quite impressive with mix of peppy tracks and melodies. Thaman delivers his best and scores a hattrick with NTR. Jabilli Nuvvecheppamma, Neneppudaina are the best melodies of NTR-Thaman combo till date making great impact on the listeners. Ramayya Vasthavayya lives up to the expectations." Cinema65.com wrote "Finally Thaman is Given the fantastic Tracks for the film, As we compared to his previous films , he has given a fresh music and new tunes to the film, By listening this songs, we can see that he kept his heart and soul to compose the songs. Listen to the Songs with the full Volume, You will be definitely addicted to the Album." 143cinema.com wrote "The album could be said as a mix of Thaman and Harish Shankar Style. Overall a good album for a star hero that lives up to the expectations of the fans but not as career best for Thaman as they said."
