Reviews
Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama in his three star review, opined, "As mentioned at the very beginning, nothing less than a rocking album was expected from Don 2. Eventually what you get is a soundtrack that would go along with the narrative and acts as a good situational ingredient but that's about it." Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave the album two out of five stars and said Don 2's music could fare much better if the composers Shankar-Ehsaan-and Loy had tried to step out of the prequel's shadow. Verma also highlighted that the music is safe, self-conscious. Vivek V Warrier of koimoi gave the film 3 out of 5 stars stating: "The good news is that all the songs stick to the identity of the Don franchise. On the whole, the album is a good work by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy."
