Tupaki English gave it 2.75/5, noting that "The film focuses more on humor than logics and coherent storyline. While the first half entertains with family story and situational comedy, the second half dips with illogical and outdated sequences."
Gulte described it as a "passable entertainer," mentioning that "A couple of comedy sequences and a couple of songs worked very well in the first half and it gives a good satisfactory feeling to the audience."
Telugu360 referred to it as a "farcical entertainer," commenting that "WHEN DONE RIGHT, Farcical comedy is ACCEPTABLE. However, when farcical genre falls short, it feels over-the-top, chaotic – precisely the issue here."

Conclusion: "Sankranthiki Vasthunnam" offers a blend of comedy and family drama, making it a suitable watch for the festive season.
