Abhishek Singh of The Indian Express wrote "The refrain of “Bala” is matched by Sen and Dadlani calling out Farhad Samji’s simple lyrics. The song is a danceable and catchy one, but has little else going for it. Its simple beat and repetitive lyrics ensure that it is memorable but it is perhaps best to play in the background as you’re doing other things." [20] Zarafshan Shiraz of India.com wrote "Akshay Kumar's Bala symbolises creepiness as he grooves like a scorpion in new track." [21] Shaheen Irani of Daily News and Analysis wrote "the tunes by Sohail Sen make you want to listen to the song more. Lyrics by Farhad Samji deserve a special mention, since the lyrics, combined with the dance moves choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, are the highlights of the song. The sets and costume too work their magic, but it is hard to move your eyes from Akshay Kumar's antics to focus too much on them." [22] A Hindustan Times critic wrote the song "run fast and loose in the lyrics department." [23]
Soon after the release, the song started trending on internet. [24] "Shaitan Ka Saala" was the 2019's fastest 100 million views gainer on YouTube, and emerged as the most popular song of 2019.
