Critical reception
Carry On Deshpande received negative reviews from critics.

Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film 2 stars out of 5, writing "it has been made with a particular set of audience in mind and perhaps would also strike a chord with item-song enthusiasts".

Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror remarked that "just like we invented the new serious Marathi cinema, maybe it’s time to evolve a new comedy — something that pleases all, but which won’t be a rehash of the tired old routines".

Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times gave the film 2 stars out of 5, stating "the movie starts with the song 'Mai Hoon Naughty Naughty Girl.. ' This song is catchy. Mansi Naik has done it with his dancing skills. There is only so much to notice in this movie".

Chaitali Gaurav of Loksatta wrote that "this story could have been presented in a better way, almost like a farce. But watching the movie, it feels like everything is planned by deciding to show only apathy".
