The music video of the track features actors Bipasha Basu and Imran Abbas Naqvi.

[4] The music video of the track was officially released through the YouTube channel of T-Series on 30 July 2014.

[9] Writing for Rediff.com, Joginder Tuteja thought its "melody, lovelorn lyrics" and "quintessential" vocals by Singh make it an instantly catchy song.

Surabhi Redkar from Koimoi calling the composition by Tony Kakkar "quite repetitive", stated; "supposed to be a romantic number, the song fails to create any impact".

[11] Kasmin Fernandes of The Times of India reacted in a mixed way to the song; "Music director Kakkar comes on board as singer on the unplugged version of Sawan Aaya Hai, which sounds better thanks to the acoustic guitar and flute, but could have done without Kakkar's nasal twang".

[15] The song marks the third time Arjun covered a version sung by Singh, the first being "Tum Hi Ho" followed by "Kabhi Jo Baadal Barse".
