Then this album is sure, a treat for you! Mickey has scored some refreshing and pleasing tunes for the film, with majority of the them falling under melody genre. The title song by Chitra, Aaraduguluntada, Mari Antaga are captivating. On the other hand, for those seeking variety, this one, sadly, is not for you" and rated the album 8/10.[11] 123telugu.com gave a review stating "The audio album of Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu is a melodious treat for Telugu film lovers. In keeping with the film’s theme, the songs have a very fresh and soothing quality about them. The album has succeeded in increasing the expectations on this eagerly awaited film. The title track “Seethamma Vakitlo” and Samantha’s “Araduguluntaada” will be instant chart busters. “Inka Cheppaale”, “Mari Antaga” and “Vaana Chinikulu” will prove to be popular melodies as well. Good job Mickey!"[12] Tollywoodandhra.com gave a review stating "Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu is a melodious treat for Telugu film lovers. Unlike the present day albums which are high on noise and low on values, the songs are fresh and soothing. Good job Mickey."[13] way2movies.com gave a review rating the album on an average at 4/5.[14] Cinecorn.com gave a review stating "There also seems to be a conscious effort by music director to sound grand and big as this is a big hero film not any small film that he does regularly and that effort is felt sometimes as trying too hard. At the same time there is no big change from the way he usually composes or any really difficult or different songs he has done here, barring the title song. On the whole he delivers but in a predictable manner and we guess that is what matters in the end whether it’s predictable or not" and rated the album 3.25/5.[15] Milliblog gave a review terming the album a "Peaceful and generally amiable music from Mickey!"[16] 24krafts.com gave a review stating "The audio album of “Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu” is a melodious treat. The songs have a very fresh and soothing quality about them. The title track “Seethamma Vakitlo” and Samantha’s “Araduguluntaada” will be chart busters. “Inka Cheppaale”, “Mari Antaga” and “Vaana Chinikulu” will prove to be popular melodies as well."[17]
