Reception Critical reception Parama Dasgupta of Aajkal reviewed the series and wrote "Kuheli is captivating among the five other well-known murder mysteries of Bengali OTT. In addition, in this series, directed by Aditi Roy, the mountain slopes and picture-like scenes captured in drone shots have provided excellent accompaniment." She praised the strong screenplay, lack of unnecessary dialogues and subplots, Aditi Roy's direction, the editing, the performance of the actors and the chemistry between the three sisters but bemoaned Angana's overacting in certain scenes, unnecessary rowdiness in Priyanka's character and the lack of proper backstories for the characters.

Swati Chatterjee Bhowmik of Sangbad Pratidin reviewed the series and opined "Kuheli maintains the thrill throughout. Every actor has adapted to his character wonderfully. Kaushik, Sushmita, Angana, Ridhima, Shubhrajit, Priyanka and Durbar have kept the audience hooked in the series with their impeccable performances. Nabarun Bose's background music is appropriate." She appreciated the performance of the actors, the cinematography, the editing, the background score and the usage of mist to add an element of mystery but bemoaned the presence of loopholes in the plotline, dented screenplay, rushed episodes and the unnecessary cliffhanger at the climax.
