Production
The film marked the debut of Vikram, a dentist by profession, who appeared under the stage name of Thamizh. Sona, the sister of actress Rajashree, also made her debut in Tamil cinema through the film. She had previously been attached to star in Sonnal Thaan Kaadhala (2001), under the stage name of Bobby, but was later removed from the project by director T. Rajender.

Reception
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "it's a time affair, with mediocre scripting and treatment" and that the "ending is thoughtless and insensitive too". She also compared the film's story to that of Punnagai Poove (2003).

A reviewer from entertainment portal BizHat.com noted "Loves is nothing but an old wine in a new bottle. It's a love triangle that directors and producers have tested time and again". The critic added "Jayapandian has given an average film with a blend of comedy and emotional story. He has made the screenplay keeping in mind the front benchers".
