'' wrote "In this episode, a very sweet story of the relationship between Chaitya and his sister Revati i.e. Chimi is presented to us.

Devendra Jadhav from '' Sakal'' says "Siblings who save each other's lives as children grow up to be on top of each other's evil. So Naal Part 2 forces us to look within ourselves once again. Once again an innocent world stands before the eyes. And we revel in it for a moment. Bass! This is the success of Naal part 2". Kalpeshraj Kubal from '' The Times of India'' said, "Sudhakar has created a world that is full of innocence and emotions with this film. The first half hampers the flow of the film but the second part hits a homerun, making Naal 2 a good watch this weekend". Komal Nahta from ''Film Information'' wrote "Advait Nemlekar’s background music is impactful. Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti’s camerawork is splendid. Neeraj Singh’s production designing is so-so. Sanchari Das Moulik’s editing is quite sharp".
