Critical reception Divya Shree for The Times of India felt the series "loses momentum by juggling multiple subplots". Sreeju Sudhakaran for Rediff.com wrote that the series "touches upon how sex education is viewed by politicians as just another government target to be ticked off, and the pressure placed on junior officers to achieve those numbers, forcing Subbu into taking some drastic measures."
Sangeetha Devi Dando for The Hindu stated that the "finale deliberately leaves a few threads unresolved." Yashaswini Sri for The Indian Express wrote "The show earns its warmth by suggesting that laughter is not necessarily the enemy."
Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in stated "This theme deserves better elaboration if there will be a follow-up season." Janani K for India Today wrote "By the time the finale arrives, it becomes evident that the creators are preserving several threads for another season."
ABP News reviewer Amit Bhatia rated the series 3.5 stars out of 5. A reviewer from Filmfare stated the series "may not reinvent the rural comedy genre, and its over-the-top treatment will not appeal to everyone." Reviewing for India TV Twinkle Gupta rated the series 3.5/5 stars.
