Vivek M.V. from The Hindu wrote that "Juni joins recent Kannada films such as Tatsama Tadbhava and Case of Kondana for not fully realising its potential. These films have great moments, but they struggle to come together as a whole". [6] Harish Basavarajaiah from The Times of India rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Overall, Juni is a slow-burning love story enriched by strong performances and genuine moments of emotional resonance, inviting audiences to reflect on the enduring power of love in the face of adversity". [7] Pranati A S of Deccan Herald rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Juni is a medically well researched film. However, while bringing in a narrative as sensitive as this, one needs to be aware of what the audience can draw from it" [8] A Sharadhaa from Cinema Express rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "Juni emerges as a decadent love story, blending moments of perfection and imperfection, ultimately serving as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of love amidst life’s challenges".
