Reception Anusha Sundar of OTTPlay gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Seruppugal Jaakirathai misses the mark in delivering an engaging and coherent crime comedy. The major falter in the series is that there is a stark absence of grounded character development and an over-reliance on chaotic, exaggerated situations. Its tedious pacing and poorly executed humour don’t help the show either." A critic of Dinamalar gave 2.5/5 stars.
