''The Hindu'' wrote "Even a slight slip could have made Magizhchi (U) an extension of a weepy Tamil soap. But V. Gowthaman's direction keeps the narration on track in this family drama set in 1989. Neela. Padmanabhan's ‘Thalaimuraigal' has been transformed into a fairly neat film".<ref>{{cite news |date=21 November 2010 |title=Bonding, bucolic style |url=http://www.hindu.com/cp/2010/11/21/stories/2010112150020200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110172222/http://www.hindu.com/cp/2010/11/21/stories/2010112150020200.htm |archive-date=10 November 2013 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=8 August 2024 }}</ref> ''Behindwoods'' wrote "Magizhchi is a well made film about family relationships and social issues. However, it has its innate limitations in terms of being an entertainer. To the team’s credit, the movie has never aspired to be an entertainer that is out of the scope, the story permits. If you are the sentimental type whose idea of a village based film is not just ‘sickles and sevals’, then Magizhchi will make you happy".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Magizhchi Movie Review |url=http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/magizhchi-movie-review.html |website=Behindwoods |access-date=17 March 2016 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303221756/http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/magizhchi-movie-review.html |url-status=live }}</ref> ''New Indian Express'' wrote "Appreciable is its ending, which is warm and positive.
