Critical reception

Malini Mannath from Chennai Online wrote that "The message if any, is wasted again, as his target-audience would be nowhere in the theatre. Fortunately!" Sify wrote, "Kastoori Raja once again takes his usual route of sex, smut and sleaze with Ithu Kathal Varum Paruvam which looks more like a soft-porn movie. This time he is providing the story, screenplay, lyrics, music and direction".
