The Times of India[9]

Reagan Gavin Rasquinha, writing for The Times of India, gave Party Never Ends three out of five stars. In a more mixed review, he described the album as "more like a collection of individual dance tracks rather than a cohesive body of music". He went on commending "In Your Eyes" as radio-friendly, "Live Your Life", "Caliente" and "More than Friends", while criticizing "Inndia" for being passable and "Shining Star" as mediocre.[9]

Commercially, Party Never Ends peaked at number 88 on the Japanese Oricon albums chart on the week ending 27 March 2013, spending 10 weeks on the chart.[24] As of June 2013, the album has sold 6,967 copies in the country,[25] while a Japan-only reissue—Party Never Ends 2—peaked at number 152 and moved 913 copies.[24][26][27] On Mexico's AMPROFON chart, the record reached number 10 on 16 March 2013.[28] Party Never Ends was nominated in the Best Album category at both the 2013 and 2014 Romanian Music Awards,[29][30] but lost to Deepcentral's album O stea (2013) and Smiley's record Acasă (2013), respectively.[31][32]
