The soundtrack of the film is composed by Sajid–Wajid while the lyrics are penned by Shabbir Ahmed. The song "Sini ne sini ne" has some similarities with I'm a Slave 4 U from album Britney by Britney Spears.

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1 star out of 5, writing ″Emraan tries hard to infuse life in JAWANI DIWANI, but in vain. The actor is capable of much more, but even a sincere performance from him cannot uplift things. Celina shows improvement in dramatic sequences, but needs to work on emotional ones. Hrishitaa doesn't get much scope. Mahesh Manjrekar just doesn't work. He hams throughout. Tiku Talsania is loud. Shehzad Khan does a takeoff on Anu Malik well. On the whole, JAWANI DIWANI cuts a sorry picture. At the box-office, a poor show all the way!″ Vipin Vijayan of Rediff.com ″If you can fathom the double-meaning dialogues a la Kyaa Kool Hai Hum and Masti, then you might sit through the first half. For those who like skin show, you may even manage to sit through the second half. But for those who want to watch a good movie, sorry boss, this is a complete waste of time, money and patience.″
