Reception

Endro Priherdityo of CNN Indonesia gave the film a rating of 2/5 stars. He criticized the acting and story, calling it boring and a rehash of the original film, though he praised the technical aspects. He said of the film's script: "Lele seems to rather modify the script for KKN di Desa Penari, changing the names of the characters and their backgrounds, inserting elements from the '80s decade, and a mother-child story that is – frankly – out of date."
