Critical reception

The song received mixed response from critics.

Devesh Sharma from Filmfare praised the vocals by the lead singer particularly Arijit Singh and stated that the "nonsensical lyrics are buoyed by the verve shown by the singers".[12] Mohar Basu revieweing from koimoi found the lyrics appealing and praised the singers vocal quality.[13] Joginder Tuteja from Rediff.com, found the beats of the song quite similar to "Dildara" from Tashan (2008) and felt that the "song stands out because of its simplicity".[14] Reviewers from CNN-IBN found difficult to slot the genre of the song, and felt the vocals by Neeti Mohan, Sunidhi Chauhan and Singh makes the song worth a hear with their talent.[15]

Anand Holla reviewing for Mumbai Mirror concluded that the song is "bearable if you don't mind how simplistic its lyrics are".[16] Bollywood Hungama's Rajiv Vijayakar criticise the composition of the song and stated "The lyrics are smart but a tad too phonetics-oriented and the feverish pace leaves no breathing space for any singer to shine".[17] Hindustan Times's Nirmika Singh criticise the lyrics of the song and found the song entertaining only in bits, though it is blessed with a hummable tune.[18]
