It turns out that Manam is a family entertainer with a difference. If the trailer raised the bar, the album raises the bar even more. A complete offering, it has entertaining songs with lyrics that can make you want to listen again and again."[20] 123telugu.com gave a review stating "On the whole, Anup Rubens gives Manam’s music album a breath of fresh air amidst the current fast beat and maddening mass numbers. Piyo Piyo Re, Kanulanu Taake, Chinni Chinni Aasalu are sure shot hits and our picks. Finally, the ANR family has a class and meaningful album in their hands, and have half the battle won already" and called the album an "Anup Ruben’s Masterpiece".[21] gulte.com gave a review stating "Very rarely we hear to some albums that churn out all possible emotions from our hearts.

To simply make a comment, this album is out there to squeeze an intense emotion out from your hearts" and called it an "Instant Winner".[22] greatandhra.com gave a review stating "Talking about the songs, this is the best album for music director Anoop Rubens till date.
