A critic from ''keralatalkies.com'' wrote that "Beautiful locales, lilting music coupled with picturisation to match, laugh a minute riots and some memorable one liners make the movie worth watching. Everybody involved have put in their might, especially the new find Deepa, displaying a flair for comedy. This movie will light up the faces of your little ones this summer and that is a promise".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.keralatalkies.com/movies/moviereviews4.htm |title=പ്രിയം [''Priyam'']|website=www.keralatalkies.com |access-date=28 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010303204855/http://www.keralatalkies.com/movies/moviereviews4.htm |archive-date=3 March 2001 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
