Reception
Rohit Panikker of Times Now gave the film three out of five stars and wrote, "The film is a fun and breezy visual experience that does not seek to complicate or confuse the audience with any gimmicks or twists in the tale. It's a simple story told with a lot of heart despite its confused and rushed-through narrative."[19] Gopika I. S. of The Times of India gave it three out of five stars and wrote, "the writing falters in many places, and some tweaking could have helped drag the story out of its cliché comfort zone. To conclude, Get Set Baby is a watchable but average film."[20]
Vivek Santhosh of The New Indian Express rated the film two out of five stars and wrote, "The film wants to be resolute but settles for being passable at best with low ambitions, unlike its protagonist. It has its share of moments with charm and tenderness, but its inability to delve deep into its core themes makes it feel like a half-baked effort. Get-Set Baby leaves you wishing its writing had undergone one more round of creative fertilisation before delivery."[21] Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Although the Unni Mukundan and Nikhila Vimal-starrer is set in largely endearing environments, the vibrancy and charm in its premise are missing in its execution."[22]
