Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Even though the written material isn't great in itself, the film could have definitely fared better if it had been handled with more finesse.[...] Robber is one of those films where the execution doesn't help elevate the script and rather brings it down several notches."
