Reception

While writing about the talk show, Karthik Keramalu of Film Companion stated that: "There’s a certain casualness and a sense of intimacy when a celebrity interviews another, and that seems to be the USP of many new talk shows in Telugu." [31] Sakshi Post criticized the show by opining that Sam Jam is mishmash of other several Telugu programmes like Bathuku Jatka Bandi, Ali tho Saradaga and Cash. [32]
