R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS stated that "Audithya's new film Ambi ends up as an average fare belying expectations of Kannada film fans and the film industry representatives". [5] A critic from Rediff opined that "This could have been a better film. Sadly, performance wise, Audithya has very little scope to prove his talent. A talented actress like Maanya is also wasted here. The result is mediocre fare". [6] A critic from webindia123 said that "The tragedy of 'Ambi' is that it does not fall under any specific genre. You cannot call it a full-blooded action film or a family drama. It is not a comedy either. It is just a mixture of everything but none of them in the right proportions or right place". [7] A critic from Viggy wrote that "It has nothing new to offer - be it the story nor the screenplay". [8]
