Film historian Randor Guy wrote "Chakravarthi Thirumagal remembered for the interesting storyline, good music, song and dance sequences and taut on-screen narration. A Song and dance sequence 'Aaadavaanga annaathey' sung off-screen by Sirkazhi Govindarajan, Jikki and P. Leela, with words such as 'gummaalu' was a hit. Sohanlal and Thangaraj choreographed the dances by Ragini, E. V. Saroja and G. Sakunthala."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Guy |first=Randor |author-link=Randor Guy |date=2011-04-09 |title=Chakravarthi Thirumagal 1957 |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/Chakravarthi-Thirumagal-1957/article14677017.ece |access-date=2021-02-13}}</ref>
