== Reception ==
Karthik Keramulu of ''[[Film Companion]]'' stated "LOL Salaam is a comedy that can be consumed in bits and pieces" and added that ''LOL Salaam'' doesn’t work hard. It works smartly, albeit in tightly controlled portions. <ref>{{Cite web|last=Keramalu|first=Karthik|date=2021-06-25|title=LOL Salaam, On ZEE5, Is A Comedy That Can Be Consumed In Bits And Pieces|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/telugu-review/lol-salaam-zee5-review-web-series-lol-salaam-is-a-comedy-that-can-only-be-consumed-in-bits-and-pieces/|access-date=2021-07-01|website=Film Companion|language=en-US}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Pinkvilla]]'' gave it a rating of 2 stars out of 5 and quoted it as a survival comedy where nothing lands.<ref>{{Cite web|title=LOL Salaam Review: A survival comedy where nothing lands|url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/south/lol-salaam-review-survival-comedy-where-nothing-lands-788361|access-date=2021-07-01|website=PINKVILLA|language=en}}</ref>

Another critic, writing to ''[[LetsOTT]]'' said that "LOL Salaam is a starts off as a comedy caper as gang of 6 men land neck-deep in trouble and it switches templates in a rather hurried manner."<ref>{{Cite web|title=LOL Salaam ZEE5 Original Telugu Series Review|url=https://www.letsott.com/lol-salaam-review|access-date=2021-07-01|website=LOL Salaam ZEE5 Original Telugu Series Review|language=en-US}}</ref> A critic from [[NTV (Indian TV channel)|''NTV'']] wrote that "‘LOL Salaam’ lacks emotional heft. A comedy like this would still have been watchable had the hilarity been weighty enough. But it’s all dry and one-note."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-06-25|title=Review: LOL Salaam|url=https://english.ntvtelugu.com/review-lol-salaam/|access-date=2021-07-01|website=English|language=en-US}}</ref>
