Critical reception
= Season 1
=Archika Khurana from TOI says that Sunflower Season 1 is an engrossing thriller laced with dark humor. TOI rates the web series at 3 out of 5. The web series could have been a bigger success if it did not have a laid-back execution. Sunil Grover gets full marks as he plays the role of Sonu Singh to perfection.
From Vakaao, Aashna Varshney says that the web series is a great watch as Sunil Grover and the major plotline both impresses you as the season progresses. Many different subplots make the web series a little disturbing as the focus seems to be losing from the main murder mystery plot. However, the main storyline and Sonu Singh's performance is worth the watch and a recommended entertainer.
Divy Tripathi from Film Companion says that this web series is a beautiful experience with spot-on direction and acting. Ranveer Shorey plays the character of a no-nonsense cop with perfection and teamed with Girish Kulkarni, the duo looks perfect as investigating officers.
= Season 2
=The season drew mix response from critics. The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5 and called it as "Overall, ‘Sunflower 2’ offers a compelling continuation" News 18 too rated it 3 out of 5 while praising the work of Sunil Grover and Adah Sharma.
Firstpost was less welcoming of the show, commenting, "Sunflower tries to pack in way too many things into one season, mainly to create a complete package."
