Reception

Sreejith Mullapilly from The New Indian Express rated the film two out of five and wrote that "While strongly opinionated monologues might still be entertaining even if they don’t serve the plot of the film, they hardly work in a disjointed film like Yaavarum Vallavare".^[3] Roopa Radhakrishnan from The Times of India rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "The film preaches rather than showcasing its on-the-face ideologies, which becomes an issue. Yavarum Vallvare falls short of making us feel more for the sad plight of its characters".^[4] Manigandan KR from Times Now gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Yaavarum Vallavare is a film that works in parts and that has nothing extraordinary to offer".^[5] A critic from Maalai Malar praised Samuthirakani as the best segment of the four, in addition to the music and the cinematography.^[6]
