Behindwoods wrote "On the whole, this film that is salvaged by Suresh and Aadhi’s performance, might work for extremely patient people who like clichéd masala flicks." Rediff wrote "Aadu Puli is just another masala flick that's simply not spicy enough." Sify wrote "Aadu Puli is strictly for those who love their daily dose of mass masala movie masquerading as a family entertainer".
