A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "The chemistry between the lead pair is just not established and it is unfortunate because there was ample scope for it".[6] A critic from Firstpost wrote that "London Babulu delivers plenty of laughs and also makes you think why people are so desperate to go abroad through illegal means. And that is where it triumphs as a story. It has its heart in the right place".[7]
