Russian music critic Alexey Mazhaev, in a review of Pugacheva's album "How Disturbing Is This Way", noted a combination of different genres — folk ("Stairs"), reggae ("Hold Me, straw"), blues ("That's how it Happened, Mom"), gypsy style ("Old Song"). Mazhaev also noted that in 12 of the 16 compositions, the singer wrote the music herself, demonstrating completely different vocal techniques and acting skills.{{Cite web |date=2022-10-05 |title=Рецензия: Алла Пугачёва – "Как тревожен этот путь".

Jon Pareles, having attended Pugacheva's performance at Carnegie Hall in 1988, noted the singer's versatility and vocal subtlety, while speaking about her music, he found that she was “Western-oriented in vocal styles, instruments (keyboards, electric guitars, trap drums), arrangements, song forms and rhythms. But even with their American and European trappings, the songs have an unmistakably Slavic tone, conveyed not only by the hard consonants of the Russian lyrics, but also by the shifting, theatrical moodiness and almost constant use of minor keys.

During her career, Pugacheva collaborated with artists from around the world, including Jacob Dahlin, Raimonds Pauls, Gloria Gaynor, Demis Roussos, Alexander Bard, Joe Dassin, Udo Lindenberg, Barry Manilow, Herreys, Bobbysock and others.{{Cite web |date=2016-01-11 |title=Вайкуле, Пугачева, Леонтьев — "тройка, семерка, туз" Раймонда Паулса |url=https://www.mk.ru/culture/2016/01/11/vaykule-pugacheva-leontev-troyka-semerka-tuz-raymonda-paulsa.html |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=www.mk.ru |language=ru}}

Over the years of her creative activity, which began in the mid-1960s, Pugacheva influenced the art of performers of the 90s of the twentieth century and subsequent generations, as well as the consciousness of people in the countries of Eastern Europe, the Baltics and Central Asia.

Pugacheva's most notable title is "People's Artist of the USSR", the highest honor that could be bestowed to a musical artist in the state, awarded to her in 1991. While the lesser titles of "Accomplished Artist of the Russian SFSR", and "People's Artist of the Russian SFSR" had been already awarded to her in 1980 and 1985 respectively, the government was hesitant to award her its highest honor, reportedly largely because of statements and actions on her part that were inconsistent with the Party's agenda.[http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/bio/0,,990901,00.html Alla Pugacheva biography] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416220603/http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/bio/0,,990901,00.html |date=16 April 2009 }}, artistdirect.com.
