[[Saibal Chatterjee]] of ''[[NDTV]]'' rated this film four out of five stars and said "Watch ''Fairy Folk''. It is unlike anything you would have seen before."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Saibal|last=Chatterjee|title=Fairy Folk Review: Unlike Anything You Would Have Seen Before |url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/fairy-folk-review-unlike-anything-you-would-have-seen-before-4-stars-5155553 |access-date=2024-03-26 |website=NDTV.com}}</ref> Anuj Kumar of [[The Hindu]] said "Fairy Folk begins like an urban fantasy that demands suspension of disbelief but, by the end, you feel like wanting to willingly surrender to its discomforting spell of magic realism that lingers."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kumar |first=Anuj |date=2024-03-05 |title='Fairy Folk' movie review: An unusual urban fantasy that exposes the reality of corroding relationships |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/fairy-folk-movie-review-an-unusual-urban-fantasy-that-exposes-the-reality-of-corroding-relationships/article67916159.ece |access-date=2024-03-26 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Toshiro Agarwal of ''[[Times Now]]'' said "Karan Gour’s attempt to blend reality with fantasy is truly praiseworthy. The film, despite its evidently limited budget, features really high quality of production and a well-researched script."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Toshiro|last=Agarwal|date=2024-02-28 |title=Fairy Folk Movie Review: A Semi-Fantasy Tale Of Love And Acceptance Through Identity Theft |url=https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment-news/reviews/bollywood/fairy-folk-movie-review-a-semi-fantasy-tale-of-love-and-acceptance-through-identity-theft-review-108054380 |access-date=2024-03-26 |website=TimesNow |language=en}}</ref>

Rohit Bhatnagar of ''[[The Free Press Journal]]'' said "The film raises certain questions about modern-day relationships, people, and their alter egos. Away from big stars and big-budget marketing campaigns, Fairy Folk is a silent and honest film."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Rohit|last=Bhatnagar|title=Fairy Folk Review: Rasika Dugal's Film Is A Classic Tale Of Alter Egos |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/fairy-folk-review-rasika-dugals-film-is-a-classic-tale-of-alter-egos |access-date=2024-03-26 |website=Free Press Journal |language=en}}</ref>

Rahul Desai of ''[[Film Companion]]'' stated in his review that "Evidently, Fairy Folk is a weird film. But it’s a poignant and funny kind of weird. The parables fly thick and fast."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Rahul|last=Desai|title=Fairy Folk Review: A Playful and Poignant Take on Marital Burnout |url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/bollywood-review/fairy-folk-review-a-playful-and-poignant-take-on-marital-burnout |access-date=2024-02-28 |website=Film Companion |date=28 February 2024 |language=en}}</ref>

Sreeparna Sengupta of ''[[The Times of India]]'' said "'Fairy Folk' is worth seeing for its original concept and methodology alone, as much as the impromptu, moving performances."<ref>{{Cite news |first=Rahul|last=Desai|title=Fairy Folk Movie Review : Magic realism helmed by spontaneous performances|url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/english/movie-reviews/fairy-folk/movie-review/108051505.cms?from=mdr|access-date=2024-02-29 |website=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref>

Mayur Sanap of [[Rediff.com]] said "The premise is incredibly wacky and yet simple, and thus, smart writing, direction, and acting are necessary for the film to be convincing. It certainly is, thanks to Gour's skillful hold on the subject matter."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Mayur|last=Sanap|title=Fairy Folk Review: Marriage Story With A Twist|url= https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/fairy-folk-review-marriage-story-with-a-twist/20240301.htm|access-date=2024-03-01 |website=rediff.com|language=en}}</ref>
