Critical reception

Sify wrote, "This romantic feel-good film will make you think as the screenplay is written intelligently on the bitter-sweet nature of love". Lajjavathi of Kalki praised the acting of Jiiva, Sandhya and other actors, Vijay Antony's music and Santonio's cinematography but found climax to be dramatic which Sasi could have been avoided and added slowly developing love and increasing interest little by little, the film is completed with a thump that is a success for the direction.

Accolades

Jiiva and Sandhya won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prizes for Best Actor and Actress respectively.
