Reception Rakesh Tara of ABP Live gave the series a generally positive review, noting that "Overall, Mammatiyaan Stars is not a thriller with big twists and turns. But it can be seen as a light-hearted feel-good web series that tells the story of friendship, cricket craze and youthful dreams in a simple way. This series will not disappoint cricket fans and those who like stories centered around friends."
Deepa of BroadCast Media provided a more critical assessment, She remarked that "Cricket fans may connect with the characters’ passion for the game, but others may feel like they are watching a match that is still waiting for its first six. The series has a simple concept, but it misses the chance to turn that idea into a memorable innings."
