Release and reception
The soundtrack was released in September 1996 concurrently with the release of KRU's second film, Cinta Metropolitan.[6]
The soundtrack received underwhelming reviews from local critics. Writing for Harian Metro, Saniboey Mohd Ismail described the album as "lacklustre" and criticized the frequent inclusion of film dialogue between songs, noting that this trend had become overused in Malaysian soundtrack albums.[3]
