A reviewer rated the film 1.75 out of 5 and said, "the music is below average, the camerawork is amateur, editing could have been a lot better, the screenplay is simple" and concluded, "An amateur effort at tragic romance, can be passed".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bharatstudent.com/cafebharat/movie_reviews_2-Tamil-Azhaipithazh-Movie-Review-3,394.php|title=AzhaipithazhTamil Movie Review|access-date=31 October 2019|publisher=bharatstudent.com}}{{Dead link|date=May 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
