The album received mostly positive reviews from critics. Behindwoods rated the album 3.25/5 stating that "Anirudh has crafted a pakka 'marana mass' album filled with Rajini-ism!".[13]OnlyKollywood rated the album 3.5 out of 5, with a verdict "Petta sounds very different and powerful on the first hearing itself, and takes various routes thereon. Being such a large assembly of songs and themes, it’s fair to have variable favorites, but the common point here is the Thalaivar factor that is maintained throughout. This is a brave and fresh stride for Anirudh who reduces his EDM influences and concentrates on a meter which collaborates retro sounds with top-notch arrangements. While the songs are freewheeling and enjoyable, the themes form an album of their own and help us visualize the characters and backgrounds. For most parts, this is a soundtrack that will rule our playlists in the days to come."[14] Cinemakaramkapi called it "a power packed album with a running time of 28 mins. Addictive and will remain in memory for long, am quite sure.".[15] Moviecrow rated the album 3 out of 5 and stated "Petta is what you call a feast of an album! Anirudh and Karthik Subbaraj gloriously let their inner Superstar fans serve a soundtrack that's a delight to hear!."[16]Studioflicks rated the album 3 out of 5, and stated "On the whole, Petta is completely a tribute from Anirudh and his entire team for Thalaivar Rajnikanth. Apart from all the other factors of analysis, Petta does an impeccable justice to the Rajinikanth fans league."[17] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog expressed some discontent and stated that "Karthik Subbaraj’s shift from Santhosh Narayanan, for his biggest film, seems like a blunder."[18]
