Subhash K. Jha for ''SKJBollywoodnews'' rated 1/2 star and wrote "It wouldn’t be right to ask what is wrong with Nakaab. It would be better to ask, what is right with it.The answer is, nothing! Every aspect of this tawdry trashy series deserves to be hooted and booted."<ref>{{cite news |last=Jha |first=Subhash K. |author-link=Subhash K.

Himesh Mankad for ''[[Pinkvilla]]'' wrote "The first episode is full of cliches – the powerful using their power to close the case, a junior level cop planning to run a parallel investigation going against the norm, a backstory to the TV star and of course, the dirty world of showbiz."<ref>{{cite news |last=Mankad |first=Himesh |title=Nakaab Episode 1 Review: Mallika Sherawat, Esha Gupta & Gautam Rode's cliche encounter with death of TV star |url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/nakaab-episode-1-review-mallika-sherawat-esha-gupta-gautam-rodes-cliche-encounter-death-tv-star-894640 |access-date=11 January 2023 |work=[[Pinkvilla]] |date=15 September 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

''[[Scroll.in]]'' staff found resemblance to death of ''[[Sushant Singh Rajput]]'' and wrote "The series clearly intends to resonate with the death by suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput. Nakaab ventures to say something important about the seamy side of showbiz, but ends up being an exercise in cashing in on a tragedy."<ref>{{cite news |title='Nakaab' review: Sleaze and silliness in series about an actor's mysterious death |url=https://scroll.in/reel/1005484/nakaab-review-sleaze-and-silliness-in-series-about-an-actors-mysterious-death |access-date=11 January 2023 |work=[[Scroll.in]] |date=16 September 2021}}</ref>
