Anisha Rao of ''[[India Today]]'' said in her review that "'Black, White and Grey - Love Kills' is a mind game. It lures you in with its true-crime coat, then punches you in the gut with emotional depth and masterful storytelling. It's fiction, yes, but it'll haunt you like a cold case you never solved."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rao|first=Anisha|date=2025-05-02|title=Black, White and Gray: The uncomfortable fiction of this highly rated crime series|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/entertainment/ott/story/black-white-and-gray-the-uncomfortable-fiction-of-this-highly-rated-crime-series-2722310-2025-05-10|access-date=2025-05-02|website=India Today|language=en|archive-date=2025-05-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250510114401/https://www.indiatoday.in/entertainment/ott/story/black-white-and-gray-the-uncomfortable-fiction-of-this-highly-rated-crime-series-2722310-2025-05-10|url-status=live}}</ref>

Rahul Desai of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter India]]'' writes in his review that "The six-episode series is an inventive subversion of true-crime storytelling. Most docudramas are so preoccupied with showing (rather than suggesting) that they forget to read between the very lines they endorse. They adopt the glamour and distractions of fiction, the politics and insinuations of mythmaking. Everyone seems to be playing a role, including the makers who use creative ambiguity as an excuse for moral ambivalence. But once in a while, an audacious series like Black, White & Gray comes along and breaks the fourth wall."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Desai|first=Rahul|date=2025-05-02 |title='Black, White & Gray – Love Kills' Series Review: A Triumph of Form and Narrative Ambition|url=https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/streaming/black-white-gray-love-kills-series-review-a-triumph-of-form-and-narrative-ambition|access-date=2025-05-02 |website=The Hollywood Reporter India|language=en}}</ref>

Troy Ribeiro of ''[[Free Press Journal]]'' gave 3 stars out of 5 and writes, "Is it perfect? Hardly. But perhaps slickness would have diluted its rage.
