Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Karodpathi was delayed to change the plot but not much seems to have been changed. Another Kannada film, Dasavala also had a similar plot. All these films can be traced back to the 1996 Brazilian film Segredos em Família in which a lonely rich man hires actors to act as his family members on his birthday".The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Komal has done a wonderful job, especially in the sentimental sequences. Guruprasad shines in dialogue delivery. Meera Nandan is okay. Abhiman Roy’s music is a highlight. Selva’s cinematography is good". Sify wrote "Music by Abhiman Roy which has gone viral is the only gluing part of the movie. Director C Ramesh needs to do his homework before he gets his hand on other project for the betterment Kannada films".
