Release and reception

Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu criticised the film and stated that "Naresh and all the other college boys and girls get childish cheap roles. Even Naresh the only star attraction in the cast turns out to be a dud. Shireen, a debutante is a total misfit in the cast. Experienced character artistes suffer because of illogical and unsympathetic roles. Music and photography make no sense in this kind of drama". [1] Jeevi of Idlebrain criticised the second half of the film, but praised the performances of Naveen, Sherin, Prakash Raj, Tanikella Bharani, and Sudhakar. [2] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Juniors is strictly for the juveniles, adolescents, teens, youngsters and any other group that does not fit into either the kids or the adults category".
