  Indi of DESIblitz said, Laila "features 18 tracks with edgy, tripping and hypnotic beats and chants." Manchester Evening News said "It is a strong offering of 18 solid cuts, which are edgy, tripping and hypnotic beats and chants." Punjab 2000 said "While this album won't set the music world alight, it should be recognised as the mark of an artist with a few tricks up her sleeve."
