Abhishek Raghunath of ''[[Forbes India]]'' noted: "Millions of Indians wait for CID to play out on their TV screens three nights a week on Sony.

In an age obsessed with sex, the show is entirely devoid of it and there is no melodrama, a staple of successful Indian soaps since 1999."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbesindia.com/article/beyond-business/sonys-cid-fifteen-years-and-counting/33955/1|title=Sony's CID: Fifteen Years and Counting|website=Forbes India|access-date=26 October 2013|archive-date=11 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220111161951/https://www.forbesindia.com/article/beyond-business/sonys-cid-fifteen-years-and-counting/33955/1|url-status=live}}</ref> Rhea Candy from ''[[Film Companion]]'' stated the chemistry of the cast members and it being a family show, the main reason behind ''CID''{{'}}s success. She added, "Today, the show incites mixed reactions.
