Reception Archika Khurana from The Times of India rated the series 3.5 out of 5 stars and said that "A gripping, atmospheric watch—best suited for fans of investigative, psychological, and grounded supernatural storytelling". Arpita Sarkar of OTT Play gave the series 2 stars out of 5 and stated that "The ghosts aren't scary, the cases lack suspense, and the emphasis on paranormal investigation overshadows the potential for deeper explorations into Gaurav's personal life. The real-life footage adds a little interest, but overall, the series struggles to captivate or terrify. " Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost rated 3.5/5 stars and said that "It’s a show that jolts you and forces you to think twice before saying ghosts do not exist."
Bollywood Hungama gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that ""On the whole, BHAY - THE GAURAV TIWARI MYSTERY is an intriguing paranormal thriller powered by an unusual premise, a solid investigative hook and Karan Tacker’s terrific central performance. Sadly, a show with such mass appeal has dropped with limited promotion. Hence, it’ll need a strong word of mouth to catch the attention of its vast target audience."
