Billboardpositive (a "Top Album Pick")
AllMusic

The original soundtrack to the 1973 film Jesus Christ Superstar was released in the same year on MCA Records.

Billboard reviewed the album and chose it as one of the "Top Album Picks" for the 16 June 1973 issue, writing: "All the powerful songs which have become popular and familiar through the release of the British caster three years ago, are rekindled with verve and zest by the movie cast. Through all this there is one major question: if the first MCA original caster sold so well, who will buy the same music the second time around?"

The album peaked at number 21 on Billboard's Top LPs and Tape chart for the week of September 15, 1973.
