Reception
Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India wrote that, "When you read the title Guvva Gorinka, you expect a cutesy love story that reflects the chemistry between two beautiful souls. But director Mohan Babu does anything but that. The concept of falling in love without meeting each other is not new to Tollywood but the writing of this film is what lets it down." Surya Prakash of Asianet News rated the film 1/5 and criticized it wafer-thin storyline. He compared the film's premise with the 2003 film Turn Left, Turn Right but added that script failed to raise beyond it."

IndiaGlitz reviewd and wrote, "'Guvva Gorinka' falls flat with a story that is shockingly childish. It's a run-of-the-mill, malnourished rom-com that hides its pointlessness behind lazy quirks and an Avunu Valliddaru Ista Paddaru!-type premise."
