== Reception ==
''Narayana & Co'' received mixed reviews from critics and audience.
Avad Mohammad of ''[[OTTplay]]'' gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote,"On the whole, Narayana & Co has some really fun moments in the first half. The film falters in the latter part when things needed to be serious. The lack of gripping thrills and seriousness in the narration brings this film down by the end of the second half.<ref>{{cite news|title=The Devi Prasad, Amani, Sudhakar Komakula starrer has decent comedy but falters elsewhere|url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/narayana-co-movie-review-the-devi-prasad-amani-sudhakar-komakula-starrer-has-decent-comedy-but-falters-elsewhere/7d40fbfb5f221|access-date=5 July 2023|publisher=OTTplay}}</ref>

''[[Mallemala Entertainments|123Telugu]]'' gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Though nothing much happens in the first half plot-wise, the entertainment quotient keeps the film moving. A few comedy scenes are neat, making the first half watchable. Though things go over the top at times, the first hour is still bearable for its decent humor. The character establishments are neatly done. Seasoned actors Devi Prasad and Amani play to the gallery and their antics evoked laughs here and there. Young actor Sudhakar is pretty good in his role.<ref>{{cite news |title=Narayana & Co – Strictly for few laughs|url=https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/narayana-co-telugu-movie-review.html|access-date=5 July 2023|publisher=123telugu}}</ref>

''[[The Hans India]]'' has given it a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "The story begins with the introduction of the Narayan family characters. After that, the lead pair meets in a pub. However, the reason for the heroine falling in love with the hero did not seem convincing. But the comedy scenes are entertaining. And the second half is a bit routine. Placement of songs is not correct. On a whole, 'Narayana and Co' succeeded in making the audience laugh.<ref>{{cite news |title=‘Narayana & Co’ Engaging fun ride|url=https://www.thehansindia.com/movie-reviews/narayana-co-movie-review-engaging-fun-ride-79359|access-date=5 July 2023|publisher=The Hans India }}</ref>

Venkat Arikatla of ''Greatandhra'' rated the film 1.75 out of 5 stars and wrote "Overall, Narayana & Co aspires to be a contemporary version of Allari Naresh's early comedies, but it ends up resembling a YouTube comedy series. It is a completely amateurish attempt.<ref>{{cite news |title=A Sleeping Pill|url=https://www.greatandhra.com/movies/reviews/narayan-co-review-a-sleeping-pill-130334|access-date=5 July 2023|publisher=greatandhra.com }}</ref>
