Shubhra Gupta of ''The Indian Express'' wrote, "What does come as a surprise, however, is just how much of a drag the film is. Except for a few stray sequences in which the limber Taapsee Pannu goes after the bad guys, and the ones in which co-star Akshay Kumar moves in to demonstrate how the big boys do it, there is nothing either novel or interesting about the film."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gupta|first1=Shubhra|title=Naam Shabana movie review: Taapsee Pannu's action, Akshay Kumar are highlights of this film|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/naam-shabana-movie-review-taapsee-pannu-akshay-kumar-star-rating-4591275/|work= Indian Express|publisher=The Indian Express|access-date=30 March 2017}}</ref>
