Muling Umawit ang Puso received dominantly positive reviews. Noel Vera praised the story's strong beginning and climax, but dismissed its ending as a "letdown" from combining the subplots into one. He also praised the performances of the stars.[9] Isah Red of the Manila Standard considers the film an honest one. He praised Lamangan for inserting "truth and honesty" to the story, as if he's "capturing reality" in the film.
