A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Skanda, Shalamraj and Samarth have done an excellent job. Suchendra Prasad is gracious. Manikan Kadri has melodious tunes for you. CT Rajkumar shines with his cinematography". [2] A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express wrote "Overall the film is a visual treat with good composition and camera movement. The Verdict: 'Ball Pen' is a film that should reach all age groups as it gives an insight into rural life". [3] A critic from News18 India wrote "Dwarki and director Shashikanth have written meaningful lyrics for the songs. 'Ball Pen' is a well made film. It can be watched both for children and parents. Such films should be encouraged". [4] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "The end may seem similar to other children’s films, but the sincerity of the children carries the day. ‘Ball Pen’ is not central to the story, or perhaps it was intended – to prod and nudge, if not shake, the powers-that-be".
