Critical Reception
In its review of the film, The Times of India rated the film 2/5 and commented that: "Director Karunakaran made a splash in Tollywood as a love story writer-filmmaker with Tholi Prema. Twenty years later, however, he still seems to be stuck with a 'formula' of cinema that worked in the 1990s. In 2018, all you get is a lifeless love story. As an audience, you want a bit more than that."[4]
123 Telugu rated the film 2.75/5 and considered that: "Tej I Love You is the same old love story which Karunakaran has made many a time in the past. There is nothing new which this film showcases. Bad songs, lack of interesting romance and forced elements sidetrack the film."[5]
Hans India rated the film 2.25/5 and remarked that: "Rather than focusing on the main plot, the makers unnecessarily included a lot of elements in the movie. The first half completely is about the teasing game between the hero and heroine and the second half is all about how hero wins back his love."[6]
Greatandhra rated 2.5/5 and wrote, "is an outdated romantic drama that tests the patience to the maximum. It lacks fresh ideas."[7]
