Reviewing the soundtrack, Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote "the soundtrack's original songs don't mix especially well with the better-known pop songs. However, this probably won't bother the film's, and album's, target audience; the soundtrack's jumbled yet enjoyable mix of pop clichés mirrors the feel of the film perfectly." Laura Morgan of Entertainment Weekly assigned a "D" rating saying that, "the Coyote Ugly soundtrack sounds like a jukebox programmed by brain dead boozers."
