A critic from The Times of India opined that "What works in favour of the film is its light-hearted humour, the effervescent feeling of love, cinematic and peppy vibe after the interval and impressive performances by the lead and supporting actors".[1]
Calling it "mixed memories," a reviewer from NTV appreciated the storyline and cinematography but pointed out uninspiring screenplay and music as its minus points.[8] Sanju of Sakshi felt that despite faltering at times, Anji has succeeded in delivering a good film in his directorial debut.[9] Aithagoni Raju of Asianet News Telugu opined that 10th Class Diaries takes the viewers down their memory lanes.[10] In a more critical review, ABP Desam rated 1/5, writing that the screenplay tests the patience of the audience.[11]
