Upon its release, "Idhu Namma Aalu" received but managed to perform decently at the box office. The Times of India gave the movie a rating of 2.5 out of 5. While critics praised the lead pair, Simbu and Nayanthara, for their chemistry and screen presence, they felt that the film's story was stretched and its screenplay lacked engagement. The comedy track by actor Soori was noted as one of the film's saving graces.
