A critic from ''[[Chitraloka.com]]'' wrote that "‘''Jamindarru''’ is not a dry [[Jamun|Jamoon]]. It is a spicily prepared sumptuous lunch for the whole family. Don't miss this power packed, sentiment mixed and well acted film".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chitraloka.com/sections/how_is_it/jamendra.html |title='JAMINDARRU' – MIXED FRUIT JAM|access-date=5 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021220201412/http://www.chitraloka.com/sections/how_is_it/jamendra.html|archive-date=20 December 2002|date=5 April 2002|work=[[Chitraloka.com]]}}</ref> A critic from ''Vishnuvardhan.com'' praised the acting, dialogues, cinematography, songs and graphics while criticising the background score and direction.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.vishnuvardhan.com/jamin.htm|title=Bettappa Superappa|website=vishnuvardhan.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040816205608/http://www.vishnuvardhan.com/jamin.htm|archive-date=16 August 2004|access-date=5 October 2004}}</ref> ''Indiainfo'' wrote "The whole story is well held up by the dialogues except for Doddanna and M. M. Chandru's poor jokes. Songs are not memorable. Mathews photography has gobbled up either Vishnu's forehead or his arms. The major plus point in this movie is that S. Narayan is not acting in it. All said and done a watchable movie".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.indiainfo.com/kannada/reviews/jamindaru.html|title=Jamindaru|website=Indiainfo|access-date=29 December 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021214113423/http://movies.indiainfo.com/kannada/reviews/jamindaru.html|archive-date=14 December 2002}}</ref>
