Critical reception
Heather Phares from
Allmusic
reviewed the album giving it a 3.5 star rating stating "Two years after
the original Cheetah Girls movie, Galleria, Chanel, Aquanette, and
Dorinda return with The Cheetah Girls 2, a sequel and a full-length
soundtrack. The film's subtitle is "When in Spain," and exotic
flourishes such as Spanish guitar and sweeping pianos color many of the
album's tracks. While the entirely en español songs feel a little
forced, hints of this sound give songs like "Strut" and "Amigas
Cheetahs" the feeling of being the great-great-granddaughters of
Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" or the Spice Girls' "Spice Up Your Life." As
expected, Raven-Symoné dominates the Cheetah Girls, both in character as
Cheetah Girl Galleria and as herself."
