The Times of India critic Thadhagadh Pathi wrote "It makes an attempt to set itself apart from the run of the mill love stories."[7] The Hindu critic Sangeetha Devi Dundoo wrote "Love Life & Pakodi surely knows to find newer things to discuss in the boy meets girl trope."[8] 123Telugu.com wrote "On the whole, Love Life & Pakodi has a decent premise and contemporary story line. The film starts on an impressive note and performance of the lead pair also quite good."[4] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "The film depicts the doubts and insecurities of a modern relationship while deliberately avoiding the context of other relationships and society."[9] Telangana Today wrote "Love Life & Pakodi is a story of how broken relationships can still find a way to survive."[1]
