Karthik P of The Times of India gave a review stating "Good old fashioned, syrupy, well intentioned romance - that is free of innuendos and double entendres i.e. - has become a rarity in Tollywood off late.
The movie offers plenty of mushy, puppy love moments that could make you go awww, so watch it for the romance quotient" and rated the film 3.5/5.
