A critic from ''[[Sify]]'' opined that "Now after a break, he [Agathiyan] is back with Ramakrishna with an all new star cast set against a village milieu which just does not live up to his earlier works".<ref name="sify" /> Malini Mannath of ''Chennai Online'' wrote "The presentation is fairly neat, urban life depicted well and the rural ambience picturised in all its simplicity. The director in the opening song in the village itself depicts in a capsule the entire culture, tradition and the folk arts of rural life. The pace does get a bit slow at times, the song numbers towards the latter part not helping matters. One feels even the treatment looks a bit out-dated".<ref>{{cite web |last=Mannath |first=Malini |date=31 July 2004 |title=Ramakrishna |url=http://www.chennaionline.com/film/moviereviews/tammov354.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061016075236/http://www.chennaionline.com/film/moviereviews/tammov354.asp |archive-date=16 October 2006 |access-date=14 July 2024 |website=Chennai Online}}</ref> ''Cinesouth'' called it a disappointment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinesouth.com/scopes/reviews/new/ramakrishna.shtml|title=Ramakrishna|website=Cinesouth|access-date=14 July 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050207162421/http://www.cinesouth.com/scopes/reviews/new/ramakrishna.shtml|archive-date=7 February 2005}}</ref><br />
