Kalki called it a cocktail which has much needed kick that fans expect, but the screenplay is too old. The critic concluded that the fans who are soaked in fights, songs and dance are going to give overwhelming support. [8] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "The taming of the mother-in-law and her daughter were favourite in Sixties and gets one more variation in tune with the present day mood in AGS Films International's, Maaman Magal, director Guru Dhanapal making it a light-hearted comedy with entertaining ingredients". [9]
Post-release, the comedy sequences of Sathyaraj and Goundamani were widely appreciated. [10] In 2018, the trailer of the film Kalavani Mappillai was compared to the plot of Maaman Magal. [11]
