Reception
Jon O'Brien of AllMusic wrote "The four indie pop inclusions slightly interrupt the flow of the album, but overall, The Inbetweeners Movie OST is likely to be enjoyed by most package holiday clubbers, whether they're fans of near-the-knuckle schoolboy humor or not." Rhys Missom of WhatCulture wrote "This soundtrack works well. The structure fits along with the feel of the movie pretty effectively, and you can tell that a lot of time and effort went into thinking what artists, and songs, to include. It hasn't just been thrown together. For those of you who are massive fans of The Inbetweeners, you need to buy this. Even if you're not a fan, then it's a soundtrack that you'll find yourself listening to again and again."
