Critical reception
Well Done Baby received negative to mixed reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Well Done Baby ultimately ends up being a film that could've been in sync with the young viewers' perception".[7] Shefali Deshpande of The Quint gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "This film fails for many reasons, and it pains me to even say so because the treatment of the subject and characters both makes it clear that the intention was good but the delivery leaves a lot to be desired".[8] Keyur Seta of Cinestaan.com gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and says "Amruta Khanvilkar is adequate but Pushkar Jog, who is credited with the concept for the film, is a disappointment, particularly in the important scene where he has an emotional outburst.".[9] Jaideep Pathaki of Maharashtra Times gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Of course, there is nothing new about these topics because they come up frequently in the contemporary media. 'Well Done Baby' is definitely worth a watch. However, the fact remains that it does not show anything different".[10]
