Reception
Pratishruti Ganguly of 'Firstpost' gave a mixed review stating "Despite the superb acting though, one may find 'Sleeping Partner' a tad too melodramatic and Bollywood-ised, especially in the end." In contrast, Ruchi Kaushal of 'Hindustan Times' and Nandini Ramanath of 'Scroll.in' gave a positive note and also praised Divya Dutta's characterisation, with the former stating that "Its enough to leave you impressed not just with Divyas character arc but also how a woman finds courage inside herself." and the latter wrote "The feminist lite treatment ensures a conclusion that nobody saw coming. Yet, Dutta is affecting as the bruised wife, and Sanjay Kapoor is turning out to be a fine cameo artist in small but well-written parts." Rahul Desai of 'Film Companion' noted "The film subverts the extramarital template and pitches a woman against the general arrogance of mankind: a tightrope walk that doesnt fall prey to the woke, kitchen-sink-brand feminism expected from storytellers these days."
