was involved the key sound mixing of the soundtrack and original score.

According to him, some scenes required a lot of probe into the characters and the mood. His team involved for sound mix worked for nearly 600 hours for a month and a half. They had to study the characters, the period of the film and the requirement as directed by Bhansali to set the sounds right on Dolby Atmos. Music critic Joginder Tuteja from Bollywood Hungama gave the album 3.5 stars (out of 5) saying: " Bajirao Mastani soundtrack is on the expected lines. A heavy album with as many as 10 tracks, it is high on classical base with a few potentially popular songs in there as well.

Though at least half the songs in there are primarily situational, given Sanjay Leela Bhansali's expertise when it comes to spinning around wonderful visuals, they can be expected to make a good impression on screen." Critic R. Vijayakar in his review for India-West gave the soundtrack a rating of 4.5 out of 5 and described the album to be a "fragrant rose". He stated: "The Maharashtrian ambiance, complete with riffs, choruses and traditional Marathi verse and excerpts, dominates "Bajirao Mastani"'s fascinating score, easily Sanjay Leela Bhansali's finest musical outing since " Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999)." Aelina Kapoor from gave the album a score of 3 out of 5, termed the album a "roller coaster ride" saying that, "The music of Bajirao Mastani is a roller coaster ride. A lot of qawalli and romance in Bajirao Mastani's soundtrack." Though there isn't anything wrong about Bhansali's tunes here, there are quite a few ups and downs in the 10 songs in the soundtrack.
