[5] Times Now critic wrote that "Some of the sequences are downright sleazy and some have double meaning dialogues that are not bound to go down well with a certain segment of audiences". [6] Maalai Malar critic wrote that "Director Muthu has directed the film as an awareness of how to get past it without getting caught up in love and lust in old age". [7]
