The film starts on an impressive note and performance of the lead pair also quite good."[4] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "The film depicts the doubts and insecurities of a modern relationship while deliberately avoiding the context of other relationships and society."[9] Telangana Today wrote "Love Life & Pakodi is a story of how broken relationships can still find a way to survive."[1]
