A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Should you watch Mugil Pete? If you're a fan of old school commercial entertainers, then this one might be right up your alley". [4] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express opined that "If you are one of those who like leisurely-paced romantic entertainers, Mugil Pete is for you". [1] Prathibha Joy of OTT Play said that "Mugilpete is all about maintaining relationships, whether it is between friends, siblings, lovers or parents and their children – it’s a little old-school, but if this is your cup of tea, go ahead and have it". [5] Vivek M. V. of Deccan Herald said that "'Mugilpete' fails to generate sensible arguments on arranged and love marriages. That is because the director wants the film to be a star debut vehicle for Manuranjan." [6]
