Reception Malini Mannath of The Indian Express called it a "crude remake" of the director's previous film Ezhai Jaathi. K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote, "Kattalai will go down well with Sathyaraj fans but for those who are not particularly thrilled by his presence, you may find it difficult to shake off that deja vu feeling that you have seen all these before".
