[13] Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave a rating of 4/5 and wrote "If you don't want the typical masala entertainment and are looking for something that moves beyond the staple big hero potboilers then this is for you.
[14] Rakesh Mehar of The News Minute wrote "At the end of its runtime, Hebbuli is the kind of big-budget film that Sandalwood has learnt to roll out with regularity: with enough spectacle and heroism to please the fans, but falling short of that something extra to draw in the rest of the crowd".
Director S Krishna gets full marks for taking the film to a commercial conclusion with neatly conveyed messages, but the placements of songs and romantic portion between Sudeep and Amala Paul become speed breakers.
Overall, the film is a good entertainer if watched without finding faults like logical loopholes or bad editing".
