Overall, most critics viewed the album generally as positive, and David James Young of Sputnik praises that " Jaydiohead throughout the album bring(s) out sides of both artists in a subtle yet highly effective way." Also, fans of both respective artists typically received the album well, as did fellow mashup DJ's.
Aside from Radiohead and Jay-Z samples being alternative rock and hip hop, respectively, the music has been described as funky.
The songs' cohesion gives the impression that the two distinctly different genres have not been merged, but could pass as an original release by either one of the original artists. This fusion of the two artists has been described as not sounding forced, coming from artists with music that is considered to be polar opposites of each other. The distinct sound of Jay-Z's vocal tracks with Radiohead's samples by Tannone have been described as fluid, uniting the sounds of two legendary artists and complementing one with the other. In addition, a video called "Ignorant Swan Medley" was made, and featured several clips from songs on the album.

Due to copyright infringement issues, similar to the release of most mashups, the songs were offered free of charge from the official website, and no legal action has been taken against Tannone. But by splitting up Radiohead songs into smaller pieces, he was able to layer Jay-Z's vocal tracks on top of them, sometimes placing additional melodies, adding drums or percussive instrumentation, or other effects into the track. He also states that cohesion between the songs was one of the most difficult tasks in mixing. Using Jay-Z's a cappella songs as the master tempo, he searched through Radiohead songs that he believed would complement Jay's lyrics. In an interview with The Daily Beast writer Touré, he explains that producing a song is a lengthy process that could take several weeks to complete. Over the course of six weeks, Tannone had completed the album from his laptop. The remainder of the tracks, which incorporate Jay-Z's a capella releases and samples from Radiohead songs, were mixed and produced beginning in August 2008. Tannone began work on Jaydiohead about a year prior to the album's completion, beginning with the tracks "Wrong Prayer" and "Ignorant Swan".
