Songs heard in the film but not on the soundtrack includes: [2]
Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote "the soundtrack to Mean Girls is nearly as sharp and knowing as the movie is. The bulk of the songs tie into the movie's mostly witty dissection of how high-school girls jockey for position in the social food chain, and the complex mix of admiration, emulation, and jealousy in their friendships." [3] Bradley Stern of MuuMuse described it as a "solid" and "nostalgic" listen, and called it as a "pretty spot-on time capsule of the teenage angst, feisty self-empowerment and fumbling sexual awkwardness that defined early ’00’s high school culture at its best". [4] Sloan Wyatt of AfterglowX summarised "each one makes a unique contribution to a soundtrack that reflects the relentless teenage drama and angst that defined high school, perfect for a nostalgic celebration. Each song fits together to create a memorable and fitting musical compliment to an iconic movie." [5] Cindy White of IGN wrote "completely effective for a lighthearted comedy". [6]
