A review by Money Control read, "Junior is a slick, attractively packaged debut that falls short in some ways. Although Kireeti Reddy makes a genuine first impression, the movie suffers from a cliched script and flimsy narrative. Fans of debut-hero movies may find it appealing, but it's a one-time experience that's best viewed with low expectations."
