Critics from Manorama Online and News18 gave mixed reviews. A critic from Mathrubhumi wrote that, "Ultimately the film is about how one overcomes the fear within. Dare to buy tickets to watch this story of Janaki becoming a brave woman."
Vignesh Madhu of Cinema Express wrote that Janaki Jaane is slightly problematic because the film doesn't endorse therapy or seeking medical help to overcome fears and gave 2.5 stars out of 5
Anna Mathews of The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that, "So, while the movie is watchable, it doesn't offer anything special." S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote that, "Navya Nair does not have much of a scope to perform, while Saiju Kurup has become a tad repetitive in his recent roles. In all, Janaki Jaane fails to utilise its promising premise."
Crics of The News Minute gave 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that, "Thankfully, it is steered away before it turns too ugly."
