Sujit Chandrakumar of Times of India described Kho Kho as "an inspirational sports drama".<ref>https://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/kho-kho/movie-review/82089626.cms</ref> Vishal Menon of Film Companion wrote, "Maria is flawed and confused, capable of care and love on one day, just as she’s prone to rigidity and strictness on the next, a complexity we rarely get when male stars play coach" <ref>{{cite web|first=Vishal|last=Menon|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/malayalam-review/kho-kho-movie-malayalam-rajisha-vijayan-sports-drama-has-its-moments-but-theyre-outnumbered-by-plot-cliches-mamitha-baiju-venkitesh-vp/?utm_source=Wikipedia&utm_medium=April16&utm_campaign=KhoKhoReview|title=Kho Kho Movie Review: Rajisha Vijayan’s Sports Drama Has Many Lovely Moments, But They’re Outnumbered by Plot Cliches |accessdate=April 14, 2021|archive-date=April 14, 2021}}</ref> Writing for Cinema Express, Sajin Shrijith lauded the film as a predictable but empowering sports drama. "The film doesn’t bring anything new to the table in terms of storytelling. But at the same time, one wonders how many new ways can one narrate a sports drama, especially when motivation is its primary intention". He rated it as a film worth watching.<ref>https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2021/apr/16/kho-kho-movie-review-a-predictablebut-empoweringsports-drama-2290437.html</ref> In a review for firstpost Anna MM Vetticad wrote,"Kho Kho stumbles intermittently when it gets too didactic or veers away from its slice-of-life narrative style. Nonetheless, it achieves a charming overall sweetness and positivity".<ref>https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/kho-kho-movie-review-rajisha-vijayan-strikes-a-chord-in-an-uneven-but-pleasant-sports-drama-9530531.html</ref>
