Reception

Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave 2. 5 stars out of 5 and stated that "Baba Black Sheep is a one-time watch, especially for 2K kids and those who want to revisit their school days." [3]

Navein Darshan of Cinema Express wrote that "In the opening credits of the film, Rajmohan mentions in a voiceover that the 2k kids brand everything as 'cringe' these days and it is hard to win over them. I thought with such self-awareness, things couldn't possibly go wrong, especially when it is made for the very own 2k kids, but alas!" and gave 2 stars out of 5. [4] Ananda Vikatan critic gave a mixed review. [5]
