Subha J Rao of The News Minute rated the movie 4/5 and stated "Raj B Shetty helms a film he can be proud of".[14] Shashiprasad of The South First described the movie as "An ordinary tale of love, loss, and life that is simply extraordinary" and rated 4/5.[15] Prathiba Joy of OTTPlay in her review wrote "Raj B Shetty crafts a film that is to be enjoyed like a fine drink; one slow sip at a time".[16] Suhasini Srihari of Deccan Herald rated the movie 3.5/5 and described the movie as :"A gentle-paced narrative on death" with praise for all the artists and the cinematographer and Music department.[17] Sridevi S of The Times of India in her review stated that "The movie, which travels at a pace slower than usual, makes us rethink and celebrate the joy of living, while also pushing us to happily think about death, and life of the loved ones after death"[18]
On Contrast Vivek MV of The Hindu described " 'Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye’ has a lot of touching moments and offers a distinctive experience, but it fails to amp up the drama between the leads.[19] A Sharadhaa of The New Indian express in her review stated that the movie is "A beautiful tale of simple emotions and human connections" and added that "a film like Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye, while connecting universally, isn’t tailored for everyone; its appeal lies particularly with those who cherish simple emotions and value the depth of human connections."[20]
