Reviews were generally positive.<br />

An article from ''[[The Indian Express]]'' stated "Written by Ilango Krishnan, who has penned all the other songs of Ponniyin Selvan, "Chinnanjiru Nilave" has the aesthetics of the iconic Tamil poet Bharathiyar. If it reminds you of one of Bharathiyar's Kannama songs–especially "Theertha Karaiyinile"–then you are not alone".<ref>{{cite web|title= Ponniyin Selvan 2 song Chinnanjiru Nilave teaser: When Vikram’s Aditya Karikalan and Aishwarya Rai’s Nandini cross paths|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/ponniyin-selvan-2-song-chinnanjiru-nilave-teaser-when-vikrams-aditya-karikalan-and-aishwarya-rais-nandini-cross-paths-8573779/|work=indianexpress.com|access-date=8 May 2023}}</ref><br />

Members from "Only Kollywood" wrote, "AR Rahman’s recent love for extremely minimalistic melodies continues with this one as well, as he gives it just a tinge of music and leaves the rest to Haricharan who does a fantastic job on the mic. There are shades of class all over the song, and this is a song that is sure to cling onto you, asking for repeated listens."<ref>{{cite web|title= Ponniyin Selvan 2 (PS2) Songs Review |url=https://www.onlykollywood.com/ponniyin-selvan-2-ps2-songs-review/|work=www.onlykollywood.com|access-date=8 May 2023}}</ref><br />
