The soundtrack album received positive reviews from critics and listeners.^[5] A reviewer based at Indo-Asian News Service stated "Vicky Donor is a good effort and the coming together of various artists makes it worth a listen."^[6][7] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog called it as a "Well put-together, enjoyable soundtrack".^[8] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama wrote "Music of Vicky Donor turns out to be better than expected. Even though there is a mandatory 'bhangra' number 'Rum Whiskey' to take care of the album from commercial standpoint, it is songs like 'Mar Jayian' and 'Pani Da Rang' which are indeed the pick of the lot."^[9]
