Reception

In its review, Glamsham wrote, "Mithoon as always provides the perfect start to the album with the superlative title track which is naturally a romantic ballad, 'Sanam Re', the best romantic ditty for a while. Arijit's mellifluous vocals work their magic with the composer joining in. The musical arrangements are top class". Glamsham further rated the song as the best on the Sanam Re soundtrack.[2] Komoi in its review wrote, "The title song of Sanam Re has a catchy quality to it. The song will appeal to many, who have a penchant for romantic songs. Composed by Mithoon, the song has been sung by Arijit Singh. 'Sanam Re' has a good variation when it comes to the beats. It sounds like one of the songs that can be easily found in a Bhatt film soundtrack. 'Sanam Re' is likable enough".[3]

The song was honoured at the GiMA, and was awarded the most streamed song of the year.[4]

The song has been sampled in several hip hop songs.
