Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, writing ″If SHEEN belongs to anyone, it's Raj Babbar who delivers a knock-out performance. The veteran seems to be in form after a long, long time and has been offered a role where he can sink his teeth into. The helplessness of a father and that of being uprooted is performed in the most convincing manner by the actor. Anoop Soni as the terrorist leaves an equally strong impression. Sheen makes a confident debut. Tarun Arora draws a blank this time around. He gets no scope at all. Kiran Juneja and Samay Pandit are adequate. On the whole, SHEEN will meet with diverse reactions - a few might empathize with the issue, while others may not really want to reopen the wounds. IndiaGlitz wrote ″Budgetary constraints diminish much of the director's heartfelt pain. So do the performances.″
