"Mehbooba Mehbooba" with her nabee "Meri Zindagi Mein Ajnabee" became "simple," Mandeep Bhara of PlanetBollywood described her rendition of Adnan Sami-duet "Mehbooba" as effortless, "Sunidhi Chauhan adds pure joy to the song, leaving Kumar Sanu's Renabee" screaming for attention Both the songs were extremely popular, and they showcased Chauhan's versatility. "Meri Zindagi Mein Ajnabee" was her first romantic song. As she "fought" with the designers to sell the songs, she credited Malik for her "evolution" because she was "accepted in normal heroines romantic numbers."

She appeared in her first duet with Shreya Ghoshal this year, but they have performed in multi-singer songs together, as well as "Imaan Ka Asar" from Dor from Salim–Sulaiman. Chauhan was consulted on Jatin-Lalit's remixed track "Yeh Mera Dil," apart from delivering two soft tracks, "Mere Haath Mein" and "Dekho Na" for Jatin–Lalit's production. "The remarkably positive Sunidhi Chauhan seems to be aware of inevitable comparisons to Asha Bhosle's version of the same," Rediff.com notes.
