Sahana Hegde of Scroll.in wrote "I think Age of Vice is best described as a perfectly good book that only disappoints because you can so clearly see how it could have been a great one." Karthik Shankar of Live Mint wrote "Deepti Kapoor’s compulsively readable novel, ‘Age Of Vice’, is a gripping saga of wealth and violence" and Sanjay Sipahimalani of Moneycontrol wrote "Age of Vice, then, is an exhilaratingly ambitious novel that uses the conventions of a thriller to comment on ugly Indian realities arising from systemic inequality and all-pervasive backroom cronyism.".
