Reception

edit

A reviewer from Hindustan Times wrote "On the whole, the album impresses and will appeal to music lovers" and rated three out of five stars.[2] Beenish Mirza of Music Aloud gave 8/10 and said "The album has been worth the wait, for just Pee Loon, Tum Jo Aaye Reprise and I am in Love (2 versions); These in themselves provide a wholesome musical experience."[3] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "Average soundtrack propped by two stand-out songs".[4] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama wrote "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai throws a surprise, a mighty pleasant one at that [...] Once the initial inhibition about the album offering only gangster score settles down and the fact emerges that there are quite a few love songs on the offing as well, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai should enjoy a long innings ahead."[5] Gaurav Malani of The Economic Times wrote "Pritam's soothing tunes 'Pee Loo' and 'Tum Jo Aaye' and the R.D.Burman styled cabaret number 'Parda' are chartbuster material."[6]
