Reception
Critical response
;Kannada version
R G Vijayasarathy of 'Rediff.com' scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Aneesh Tejeshwar shows promise. But he should improve his emoting expressions. Sonu looks cute and delivers a decent performance. Dileep comes up with a good performance as Raja. Veteran artists Avinash, Sharanya sleep walk through their roles. The camera work is good. James Vasnthan's musicis above average. Police Quarterscould have been a better film". A critic fromThe New Indian Express wrote "As far as Anees performance is concerned, he has done a neat job, especially in a dance sequence. Dileep Raj is at his best. Sonu looks beautiful in some sequences. Her acting has surely improved. Avinash has provided good support and Sharanya has also acted well. Dharma plays a brief role" A critic fromBangalore Mirror wrote "This does not mean that the film is boring. It is fast paced and keeps you engaged. But minus the emotional touch, it is not entertaining enough. The film is still good enough for a one-time watch. Ramesh could have made it a must-watch by adding a little more ingredients". 'The Times of India ' wrote "Ramesh has done justice to the story with a good script, though the climax is overly sentimental. The movie is not a patch on his earlier film Cyanide and one finds that touch missing in the narration". 'Deccan Herald ' wrote that "It is the understated, almost natural play by the actors that makes Police Quarters all the more attractive". 'Sify.com' wrote that "The relationships between the characters making the commercial film very much like a documentary. The film is still good enough for a one-time watch".
;Tamil version
'The New Indian Express ' wrote "Just a passable fare, Kadhalar Kudiyiruppu doesn't live up to the expectations, and is not a patch on the director's earlier film". The critic added that "Some of the portions seem to be dubbed from Kannada, and the poor lip-sync is another distraction".
