R. Praveen from ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote : "The film treads the thick line between outdated and refreshing, taking detours to both sides, but managing to finish on a strong note".<ref>{{cite news|last1=Praveen|first1=S.R.|title=Kaattu blows despite headwinds|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/kaattu-blows-despite-headwinds/article19856444.ece|accessdate=16 October 2017|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=13 October 2017}}</ref> Veeyen rated the film as "Good" and said: "A primitive allure that had been long lost makes a revisit through ‘Kaattu’, and it’s a peculiar combo of the dismal and the lyrical that Arun Kumar Aravind comes up with in his new film. It’s a complex character drama that is tonally and visually notable; a foreboding and dark tale that makes for austere viewing and told with an uncanny grace."<ref>http://veeyen.com/film-reviews/kaattu-2017-malayalam-movie-review-veeyen/</ref> Sanjith Sidhardhan of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the movie three stars out of five and stated that "It is a lesson in classical filmmaking and storytelling that develops its characters, narrates a good story and has a satisfying denouement, all without the use of any modern gimmicks."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Sidhardhan|first1=Sanjith|title=Kaattu Movie Review|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/kaattu/movie-review/61068832.cms|accessdate=16 October 2017|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=13 October 2017}}</ref> K.
