Film critic R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "If you are a fan of weepy, sentimental film with old style narration, then 'Anna Thangi' may well please you".[5] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "In sentiment, action and dance Shivrajkumar once again steals the show. In the tear jerker role Radhika is spectacular".[6][7]
