Though there were a few negative buzz around earlier at London where the music released, the overall reaction to the album was positive from all the mainstream critics. Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama dismissed those initial negative reaction, saying "Much before the official release of the music album of KANK, rumour brigade has been having a field day in pulling down the album. Well, that's not something new as with every biggie comes its share of detractors. But on hearing the songs for yourself, you realize that is it NOTHING, but a rumour! The album is yet another fine product from the team that delivers the kind of path-breaking music expected from it." Sukanya Verma of Rediff called the album " a treat for the melody-starved.".Sales and Chart performanceThe album opened at #1 and retained the top position in the music charts for ten straight weeks, despite facing tough competition from musical hits like <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanaa_(film)">Fanaa</a>, <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krrish">Krrish</a> and <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangster_(2006_film)">Gangster</a>. 
According to the figures from BoxOffice India, the album sold over 1,900,000 copies in India making it the second best selling album of the year, marginally behind <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhoom_2">Dhoom 2</a>.
