The music was composed by Mani Sharma. In an audio review of the film by Telugucinema.com, a critic rated the soundtrack three-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "At the outset, the album might seem to offer nothing new but Mani Sarma's careful handling of orchestration and tuning stand out on repeated hearing".[6]
Jeevi of Idlebrain rated the film two and one-fourth out of five and wrote that "On a whole, Aa Okkadu is a well-intended effort that has gone wrong due to inefficient screenplay and uninteresting narration." A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Aa Okkadu looks like that unlikely surprise lurking in the back of your cupboard, and maybe the one you've secretly wished for."[7]
A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "Director Murthy has succeeded in holding the suspense till the end but the comedy sequences do not blend well with the main story. Many of the plots lack logic too. Even Mani Sharma’s music fails to impress."[8]
