Rediff.com gave the album 3.5 out of 5 and said "The soundtrack of Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey lends an inexplicable satisfaction that comes from seeing a movie". Planet Bollywood, praised Sen's work and quoted as "Sohail Sen delivers the goods! He’s stuck to the genre and has done terrifically well in that too", rating it 7 out of 10. Music Aloud said, "Seeing that Gowariker already had Lagaan, Sohail Sen ran a serious risk of falling under Lagaan's shadow in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, but he has come out wonderfully, even shaking off What's Your Raashee? blues in the process. Hat's off!", giving it 8.5 out of 10.
