Critical reception

Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu stated, "A predictable and enjoyable finish to a love story that sparkles with the energy of youth!". A critic from The New Indian Express wrote, "An average entertainer, Yuvan Yuvathi may not bore you. But it doesn’t have that fizz to keep one completely engrossed in the happenings." Behindwoods gave the film 2/5 stars and wrote, "In all, a film that could have worked well with its positive features, goes south due to the week screenplay, narration and the badly conceived climax."
