Mahesh Narayanan pick up a story with disturbingly familiar outlines and impart it with fresh urgency and impact, making each frame of the 1 hour 38 minutes run time count". The New Indian Express wrote that "CU Soon is an immersive experience like no other. This is a neatly written and executed film elevated to a great degree by the right cast and the right music composer". Rediff gave the film a rating of three-and-a-half out of five stars and noted that "Mahesh Narayanan, by turning his passion into his subject matter, by turning machines into curtains behind which we hide and through which we reveal ourselves in surprising ways, has achieved the human scale". The Times of India gave the film a rating of four out of five stars and stated that "What Take Off filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan has done is use that experimental concept of technology to tell a hard-hitting socially relevant story inspired by shocking real-life incidents such as trafficking and invasion of privacy, set in two countries and told mainly through three characters who keep you glued to the screens". Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "The last half-hour is a cracker". The Hindu wrote that "The performances of the three lead actors gives the Malayalam film its emotional core, without which it could have remained a mere showcase of technical mastery".
