Behindwoods wrote "Vizhithiru has a decent script, but lacked execution".[9] Times of India wrote "A not-so-bad message towards the end and the writing in some sequences make the film a tolerable watch".[10] Sify wrote "Vizhithiru’s core story has the potential of a classic thriller, the characters too are interestingly written but what works against the movie is the flat execution".[11]
