"[9] Latha Srinivasan of India Today gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Michael is a gangster flick that’s more style than story for the most part.

"[10] Thinkal Menon of OTTplay gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Michael is a mish-mash of several home-made gangster films which have entertained in the past.

The movie is a wasted opportunity and might appeal to hardcore action lovers who do not mind enjoying old wine in a new bottle.
