N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express said "Ilayaraja has a few melodious numbers in this film, that sees Karthik emoting well. Directed and photographed by N. K. Viswanathan, the film is one that has possibilities that are wasted because of his preference for the pedestrian".[4] C. R. K. of Kalki praised the performances of Karthik, Mohini and Nambiar, Ilayaraja's music but panned the comedy and concluded no matter what the film is, after a formula has been determined that all the incidents must be in this order, there is no need for a single story writer to give them a context.[5]
