==Critical reception==
[[Times of India]] reviewed the song as the monsoon song of the year for all those romantic at heart.<ref name="too">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/half-girlfriend-song-watch-arjun-kapoor-and-shraddha-kapoors-blossoming-romance-in-baarish/articleshow/58142050.cms|title=Times of India: Half girlfriend music review|accessdate=25 June 2017}}</ref>

India.com in its review wrote: "The composers have used Santoor in the song which gives us the feel of rain. Santoor is the only instrument that gives us the feel of nature and happiness within seconds and the effect is clearly visible in this song too. The lyrics is quite catchy in the main verse and compels us to hum it However, the stanzas are a bit boring and we need to hear it a couple of times to fit it into our minds. Singers Ash King & Shashaa Tirupati have done a wonderful job. The song is composed by Tanishk Bagchi and written by Arafat Mehmood & Tanishk Bagchi again".<ref name="interview">{{cite web|url=http://www.india.com/showbiz/half-girlfriend-music-review-baarish-and-thodi-der-are-the-only-soulful-numbers-from-arjun-kapoor-and-shraddha-kapoors-next-2091183/|title=India.com: Half Girlfriend music review|author=Praachi Kulkarni|date=10 May 2017|accessdate=25 June 2017}}</ref>

The song received mixed reviews by the [[Daily News and Analysis]], which wrote: "The song’s lyrics, which are written by Arafat Mehmood and Tanishk Bagchi, are nothing beyond mediocre. And it is surprising because both of them have done some incredible work in the past. It reminds us of the strong connection between [[Shraddha Kapoor|Shraddha]] and rains, they have been almost inseparable in all her films. We literally cannot think of a movie without a rain song picturised on Shraddha. What's also amusing is the fact that she is under the rain but for most part of the song, she doesn't get wet. Are you serious?
This song is definitely not the best work of director [[Mohit Suri]], who has musical hits like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain to his credit. But we are sure it would become one of your favorites, especially if you are friendzoned or in a one-sided relationship."<ref name="ie">{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/half-girlfriend-baarish-song-arjun-kapoor-shraddha-kapoor-4609952/|title=DNA:Baarish song review|website=Dnaindia.com|publisher=DNA Web Desk|access-date=26 June 2017}}</ref>
