The News Minute wrote "The actors rise to the occasion, each one delivering a sincere performance, but the flawed script lets them down". According to Alix Turner of Ready Steady Cut, the film is "[w]ell made, and with a strong lead, though the writing and direction could do with a little polish, Lilli is a grittier and bloodier film than we're used to setting from India". ==References==
