Heather Phares, from Allmusic said, "Though the film is technically a Miramax offering", "the soundtrack is downright Disney, gathering songs from the studio's stable of prefab teen pop singers". She praised Kelly Clarkson who "out-sings them all on 'Respect', which, despite its canned-sounding accompaniment, makes the most of her voice".[1]
She concludes: "Indeed, most of the Ella Enchanted soundtrack plays like a souped-up school musical, although that does give it sort of an awkward charm."
