Critical reception
Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave the film's rating 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "The setup and playoffs are very poorly planned and doesn't rescue the film in anyway. We realise that the entire film is going to collapse just like the building with the only exception that we have no Ashok to save it."[10] Dinamalar rated the film 2 out of 5.[11] Chandini R of Cinema Express gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "If only, some better creative choices by the makers were in order, we would not just laud Kadamayai Sei but also enjoy it."[12] Zee News gave a mixed review.[13]
