Renuka Vyavahare of ''[[The Times of India]]'' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Revolving around the passage of time, nostalgia, closure, and stillness… ‘Three of Us’ is meditative and melancholic. However, like a dwindling memory, the film feels lost and unsure of what it wants to say at regular intervals.".<ref>{{Cite news |title=Three Of Us Movie Review : Memories and the alchemy of time |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/three-of-us/movie-review/104942163.cms |access-date=5 November 2023 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> Prateek Sur of ''[[Outlook (Indian magazine)|Outlook]]'' gave the film five out of five stars, describing it as the best film of the year, and calling it "a masterpiece in acting".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sur |first1=Prateek |title=''Three Of Us'' Movie Review: Leave Everything And Go Watch Shefali Shah, Jaideep Ahlawat, Swanand Kirkire's Acting Masterclass |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/art-entertainment/-three-of-us-movie-review-leave-everything-and-go-watch-shefali-shah-jaideep-ahlawat-swanand-kirkire-s-acting-masterclass-movie_reviews-328406 |access-date=5 November 2023 |work=Outlook |date=3 November 2023}}</ref> Udita Jhunjhunwala of ''[[Mint (newspaper)|Mint]]'' labeled the film "unhurried and intimate".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jhunjhunwala |first1=Udita |title='Three Of Us' review: Memories to hold on to |url=https://lifestyle.livemint.com/how-to-lounge/movies-tv/three-of-us-review-shefali-shah-swanand-kirkire-jaideep-ahlawat-avinash-arun-111699035010469.html |access-date=5 November 2023 |work=Mint |date=4 November 2023 |language=en}}</ref><br />
