Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu rated the film three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Terror is a rare razor-sharp cop film that stays loyal to the storytelling patterns it adopts, right from the start. Taking the least of cinematic liberties and avoiding commercial compromises, it is a nail-biting film that hardly strikes a false note."[3] Ch Sushil Rao of The Times of India gave it two out of five stars and wrote that "The film is a bit lengthy with no comedy to tickle your funny bone."[4] Jeevi of Idlebrain gave it three out of five stars and wrote that "Terror breaks a lot of stereotypes in Telugu and stands out as a film that sticks to it’s genre. There are neither songs nor comedy scenes. It doesn't bore you despite having a serious story."[5]
