Critical reception
Half Girlfriends soundtrack generally received positive reviews from both critics and audiences, who especially praised the song, "Baarish" and all the versions of "Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga". Bollywood Hungama gave the soundtrack 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "The music of Half Girlfriend is good and there is not a single wrong tune in there. A few songs at the beginning do have a sense of repetition but that could well be an endeavour to bring on a consistent sound. Though it would be unfair to compare every new soundtrack with that of Aashiqui 2 (as stated right at the beginning of this review), as a standalone soundtrack it is still better than most of the music that has been offered in 2017 so far."
