Sravan Vanaparthy of The Times of India stated "Despite being a bold attempt, truth remains that ING is a long way off from many shows in its genre." [8] Writing for Cinema Express, Ram Venkat Srikar gave a rating of 1.5 stars out of 5 and said that "While it’s good to see every major character get an arc, the endings are consistently blatant. As we navigate questions with uninspiring answers, the series ends on a poor excuse of a twist." [9]
Film Companion 's Karthik Keramulu quoted "In The Name Of God is a tedious merry-go-tound of a crime thriller" [10]
