Lyrics are written by Dr. Amal Saikia with music by Pratul Bora and Gupta Borthakur and music arrangement by Ranjib Das. The songs highlight several issues which are relevant in modern-day Indian society.[1]

Ei Jibon Nohoi Xuna Bondhu garnered rave reviews from all leading regional newspapers. The Assam Tribune highly praised the album saying, "The title song (Ei Jibon Nohoi) can be regarded as one of the best among contemporary Assamese modern songs."[2] Bilingual e-magazine Enajori.com described it as 'an exceptional album with powerful lyrics and great voices'.[3] The title song, Xetelite Xui (which highlights one of the most controversial topics of recent times — illegal Bangladeshi immigration in Assam), Mor Bhaab Bor, Mama, O' Tomoxa and Nirahar Xixutir were highly praised.[3]

This is the first independent Assamese album which is being sold in digital format on iTunes and Amazon MP3. According to Encore Entertainment India, a portion of sales proceeds from the album would be contributed in aid of physically challenged children.[2]
