A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of two-and-half out of five stars and wrote that "Ammana Mane touches upon some relevant issues and there is some occasional poignancy in the narrative, but the film ends up being jarring with regards to showcasing sentiments, and the pace doesn't help that either".[2] A critic from Deccan Chronicle gave the film three out of five stars and wrote that "Naturally slow and steady makes it a meaningful watch in the end with Raghavendra Rajkumar at his challenging best. He is ably supported with the performances of others too".[13] A critic from The New Indian Express gave the film a rating of three out of five and wrote that "As for the audience, this film has managed to create a niche, and is able to hold the attention of the audience throughout the two-hour long run. The plot drifts through a lot of ups and downs similar to the ones experienced in every middle-class family life".[3]
