Siddharth Srinivas of Only Kollywood gave 3.25 stars out of five and wrote "Jailer is a soundtrack that is not upto the best of Anirudh, but still works well thanks to the high-voltage elevation themes that he brings in.

"[31] Bharathy Singaravel of The News Minute wrote "Anirudh is clearly the music composer to go to for a lavish dose of theatrics in a film that’s already bursting at the seams with what millennials will describe as being 'extra'.

"[32] Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint felt that the song "Hukum" works as a "powerful leit motif that scores some of the film’s most effective scenes".
