Hemanth Kumar from Firstpost.com, who gave it 3.25/5, said, "for a film which doesn’t really have much to say or say anything differently, it’s a surprise that Malli Raava tugs your heartstrings in the end".
123Telugu.com gave it 3.25/5 and wrote "Malli Raava is a subtle love story which has some beautiful moments throughout." Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu was a bit more critical and wrote, "If only Malli Raava had been more interesting, it wouldn't have ended up as a reminder of Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu which addressed issues of growing up, decisions and romance across decades more effectively". Great Andhra gave 2.75 out of 5 stars stating " Though this love story is not for all. Youngsters and guys with too-romantic a mind can enjoy it, but for others, this is not gripping enough".
