Reception

Nihit Bhave of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "Shreelancer feels like a promising assignment that started out great but succumbed to a fast-approaching deadline. Let’s wait for the projects that its capable men are more invested in". Namrata Joshi of The Hindu wrote, "For the pragmatic workers on regular jobs the film might seem like an indulgent paean to the forever uprooted. But one has to admit that more than anything else what a freelancer’s life has, as the film showcases, is a great soundtrack".
Rahul Desai of Film Companion wrote, "It's the calm reaction of a fiercely independent storyteller to the increasingly commercial and designed language of the genre he has chosen to explore". Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote, "All of Mohan’s films turn on smart ideas about unexplored urban realities, but Shreepad’s journey is not half as interesting as he imagines it to be. Like its aimless hero, the movie drifts in far too many directions". A critic from IANS rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "Overall, this film, with a feel-good approach, surely surpasses one's expectations".
