AllMusic called the album a "mixed bag",[1] specifically praising American Hi-Fi's "The Art of Losing", The Donnas' "Backstage", Andrew W.K.

Girls Aloud recorded the track "You Freak Me Out" for the film but it was ultimately not included in the project, and instead appeared on the re-release of their debut album later that year.

"Ultimate" is a song from the Freaky Friday soundtrack, with clips of scenes from the film used to help promote it on Disney Channels Worldwide.

In the first (which appears on film), Lohan sings the song as her character Anna Coleman and her bandmates (played by Christina Vidal and Haley Hudson) perform it at her mother Tess's wedding.

In the second version that appeared on Disney Channel, the video begins the same as the first one, at a wedding, before then transitioning to Lohan recording the song in a studio, with clips from the film interspersed throughout.
