Rishita Roy Chowdhury for India Today rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Footfairy is paced impressively. As soon as one attempts to crack the identity of the serial killer, the story turns. One is kept guessing throughout the run of the film, until the very closing scene." [8] Moumita Bhattacharjee of Rediff.com found Footfairy an "intriguing and shocking". She further wrote, "The performances are nuanced and not a single character is without a purpose. Gulshan Devaiah takes time to grow on you because he isn't the usual brooding police officer with a dark past. There's no back story here, just the investigation." [9]
Conversely, Ruchi Kaushal of Hindustan Times felt upset about the disappointing ending and writes "Even if the maker wants to not just highlight the obsession of the footfairy but also of a CBI officer obsessed with finding the culprit, the film feels pointless". [10]
