Reception

SB Vijaya Mary, in The Hindu, said "Vineet Singh Hukmani believes that music has untapped potential in the immersive space. A year after he released a multimedia book Nine that showcases nine stories combined with nine tracks, he dropped the world’s first music multiverse on May 9, 2023".

Sugandha Rawal from Hindustan times reported that his music was submitted in consideration for a Grammy. "Hukmani has three of his singles — Jab the World in Rock, I Pray in Melodic Rap and Turning Back Time in Pop — submitted for 2022 Grammy consideration in mainstream categories."

Euro Indie Music announced his winning a gold disc and world record in 2022. "Vineet – Vineet Singh Hukmani, from India, was awarded a prestigious gold disc and plaque by the European Indie Music Commission and the MEI Indipendenti for his world record breaking feat of being the ‘first artist in the world’ to hold NINE NUMBER 1 positions on the European Indie Top 100 chart in 2021. The Plaque was awarded to him on Jan 11, 2022."

Vijayalakshmi Narayanan from Radio City wrote about his work, "Vineet imbues a fresh burst of energy through his latest track, ‘So New’. ‘So New’ comes across as a shot in the arm, but unlike ‘Jab The World’, it infuses a new wave of positivity. It reinstates that it takes the simplest and smallest things to bounce back from adverse situations."

Mindy McCall from Indie Pulse Music wrote, "There is a little disconnect between the song’s subject matter and footage, but it isn’t enough to undermine either. It is notable that he focuses much of the video’s attention on medical professionals and links up well with the opening tribute he pays to the nurses and scientists. His vocals are especially potent. The way he attacks the lyric makes the words sound like a call to arms and his muscular phrasing immeasurably enhances the words."

The Score Magazine also said, "It would be easy to draw comparisons with other singers but that would be lazy and disingenuous to Vineet whose voice hides little in the way of emotion but it is not mawkish. His voice oozes empathy, not sympathy."

Los Angeles magazine review by critic Michael Rand said "I Pray has universal resonance any discerning listener will hear. It gains added momentum from the emotional impact Vineet delivers with every line. Contrasted with his earlier single “Jab the World” and its high-powered rock vocals, he sings like a virtuosic angel during this track.’"

Indie shark magazine wrote for the same track, "This is a single that seems tailor-made for making a global impact and benefits from Vineet pouring every ounce of soul into its final result. Its universality and melodic merits set it apart as well. The finishing measure, however, is always Vineet’s presence in the song – it is a riveting vocal performance you cannot turn away from."
