==Critical reception==<br />
Vivek Ramz of in.com wrote "Even though Director Paneer Selvam has a new premise, he lets it go loose with lot of loopholes in the script. He has tried to make the offbeat theme into a mainstream one and failed miserably in doing the same."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.in.com/news/entertainment/give-18-vayasu-a-miss-50134001-in-1.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=29 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120828054519/http://www.in.com/news/entertainment/give-18-vayasu-a-miss-50134001-in-1.html |archive-date=28 August 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> Rohit Ramachandran of Nowrunning.com said of the film "18 Vayasu, just like its protagonist, is on the brink of falling apart."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/9496/tamil/18-vayasu/3858/review.htm|title = 18 Vayasu Review &#124; 18 Vayasu Tamil Movie Review by Rohit Ramachandran}}</ref> K.R.
