Reception
The song received a very positive response from critics. Pavithra Srinivasan a reviewer from the website [http://Rediff.com Rediff] said the song was "a romantic number penned by Gangai Amaren that clutches your heart at the appropriate moments. Certainly her vocal range keeps things interesting, not to mention the guitar strings and percussion which attain a faintly Hawaiian tang later on. The charanam brings back the song into perspective, and a melodious experience it is." Indiaglitz.com reviewer said: "A typical Yuvan number, it is rip-roaring and stylish all through. Yuvan seems to have opted for live drums here. The combination of the instruments provides a new sound. Trendy all the way, the song is pleasant to listen to." Behindwoods.com reviewer said: "A soft romantic number with very pleasant music bits that again have a distinct Goan touch to them. Though this song gives you a heard before feel, it has been stylishly put together and is likely to hit the charts soon for its unhurried sweetness." Top10cinema.com wrote it was a "prevalently fashioned tune of Yuvan Shankar Raja: more vitality exists on both vocalism and instrumentals. Followed by his previous composition Telugu song Oye, Yuvan has used live drums. Interludes with stringed instruments enhance the song."
The song was eventually listed in many Top 10 songs of the year and claimed as one of the most popular songs of the year.
