The album consisted the original songs written by Gordon, Lieberman, Ben Platt and Noah Galvin and performed by the cast members.

[10] Tim Grierson, writing for Screen International commented: "What’s strongest here are the original songs that go into the climactic debut of Joan, Still [...] The directors, who were part of the team that wrote the songs, make even the dopiest tune feel like these teachers’ idea of Broadway excellence, and the chasm between the characters’ delusion and reality is often quite charming.

"[11] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "Its songs have some of the silliest lyrics imaginable, but the kids in the cast (plus one surprise adult star) sing the hell out of them and somehow, they’re almost catchy.

"[12] Esther Zuckerman of Vanity Fair complimented the original music saying that it "strike a perfect balance between intentionally amateurish and earwormy".
