Reception

''Billboard'' magazine listed the album among its "Top Album Picks", meaning that the album was predicted to reach the top half of the album chart. Comparing the soundtrack to that of the first film, the ''Billboard'' reviewer wrote, "The soundtrack is a similar mix of peppy party tunes ('Who's That Guy' recalls 'Summer Nights') and pretty ballads ('We'll Be Together' has some of the AC appeal of ' Hopelessly Devoted to You')." However, the reviewer also commented, "Don't hold your breath waiting for 'Grease 3.'"
