== Reception ==<br />
A review by Abhinav Subramanian for ''[[The Times of India]]'' mentioned, "The movie could resonate with a niche audience from a particular time and place. The lead pair share decent chemistry, and there's a sincerity to how the film approaches its emotional beats". (...) and that it was a ”love story released in 2026, set in 2005, that feels like it should have come out in 2006. Maayabimbum arrives two decades late and wonders why nobody's home.”<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maayabimbum Movie Review: Dated on arrival |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/maayabimbum/movie-review/126780826.cms |access-date=2026-01-24 |website=The Times of India |language=en |archive-date=21 January 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260121062915/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/maayabimbum/movie-review/126780826.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> The film was also reviewed by ''[[Dinamalar]]'',<ref name="dinamalar">{{Cite web |title=மாயபிம்பம் - விமர்சனம் {3/5} - Mayabimbam Cinema Movie Review : மாயபிம்பம் - சினிமாதனம் இல்லாத நல்ல சினிமா |url=https://www.dinamalar.com/cinemareview/3717 |access-date=2026-01-25 |website=dinamalar.com |language=ta}}</ref> ''[[Cinema Vikatan]]''<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://cinema.vikatan.com/kollywood/love-drama-maayabimbam-tamil-movie-review |title=மாயபிம்பம் விமர்சனம்: நிஜத்திற்கும் பிம்பத்திற்கும் இடையில் சிக்கும் காதல்; மனதைக் கரைக்கிறதா படம்? |last=டீம் |first=விகடன் |date=2026-01-23 |website=vikatan.com/ |language=ta |access-date=2026-01-23}}</ref> and ''[[Dina Thanthi]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=தினத்தந்தி |date=2026-01-23 |title="மாயபிம்பம்" திரைப்பட விமர்சனம் |url=https://www.dailythanthi.com/cinema/movie-review/mayabimbam-movie-review-1201595 |access-date=2026-01-25 |website=www.dailythanthi.com |language=ta |archive-date=23 January 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260123085229/https://www.dailythanthi.com/cinema/movie-review/mayabimbam-movie-review-1201595 |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
