Seriously, lyrics fail! Reviewers of In.com said− Shreya Ghoshal takes her turn with Ankit Tiwari's 'Sunn Raha Hai', and flutes and santoor are added to the mix. Karam ki adaayein would mean styles of grace. Very well sung, but I still like the guy version a lot more. Really, the song that was in rock mood, Shreya is made to sing in all typical Indian girl style with sounds of bangles, ghatam, and lot of what-was-that-'90s-instrument-really.

No wonder she is called the modern nightingale of India! Critics of wrote− And now, when we needed a girl to sing 'Sunn Raha Hai Na Tu', they finally bring in Shreya Ghoshal. Both are winning tracks that certainly deserves a listen! Shresht Poddar of High on Score remarked− Shreya has added yet another notch in her ever growing belt with this track. Bodrul Chaudhury of Bollyspice commented− This one (the female version) is also enjoyable to listen to due to Shreya's angelic voice which gives it spark. Rafat of Glamsham commented− 'Sunn Raha Ha' female version is rendered to sublime perfection by Shreya Ghoshal and it's once again a treat to the ears, as was the male version. And Sandeep Nath's lines are truly ingenious! Critics of Planet Bollywood said− Shreya Ghoshal sings in the superb reprise 'Sunn Raha Hai (Female)' that features more traditional instrumentation including the flute. The flute, the santoor and even the ghatam pervade the lovely number while keeping the rhythm intact. Rajiv Vijayakar of Bollywood Hungama remarked− It is Shreya who comes up trumps with her more Indian version, where we even have brief aalaaps. Sandeep Nath's lyrics do the job and give the protagonists a chance to strengthen their characterisation. Flute is used amply and increases the effect however it is the voice which is spellbinding. Ankit has kept this composition different from the earlier one, which pays off as it suits Shreya's voice better. If in the earlier version Ankit Tiwari made you like the track Shreya makes you fall in love with it. Shivi of Koimoi stated− Queen of melody, Shreya Ghoshal, delivers her fantastic version of 'Sunn Raha Hai'.

The lyrics are unimpressive, while the music is dull. However, except for the singer, there is nothing interesting to write about it. Personally a favourite, Shreya infused life into the tear-jerker of sorts and somehow helped it connect with the masses like wild fire!' Reviewers of The Times of India wrote− Shreya has sung 'Sun Raha Hai' effortlessly. Nayandeep of Koimoi commented− 'There's almost nothing that this woman cannot do! The new age Lata Mangeshkar of sorts, Shreya Ghoshal made all of us teary eyed with the immensely thoughtful and lovelorn 'Sun Raha Hai Na Tu' number from Aashiqui 2.
