Peri Ravikumar, a literary critic, calls ''Kalpavruksam'' "the first truly Telugu Ramayana". He notes, “The Ramayana was written in Telugu earlier by many great writers. But when you read Viswanatha Satyanarayana’s ''Ramayana Kalpavruksham'' it is like reading a book set in a land of the Telugus. You get an impression that [[Rama|Lord Rama]] is a Telugu and the place where the epic unfolds is Telugu land. The food served is Telugu cuisine and the entire epic is filled with Telugu nativity.”<ref>{{Cite news |date=2015-07-04 |title=Viswanatha wrote the first truly Telugu Ramayana |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/viswanatha-wrote-the-first-truly-telugu-ramayana/article7388714.ece |access-date=2023-04-04 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
