Critical response
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The film is all about Shefeek trying to create happiness in others’ lives and ultimately realising that it is important to take care of his happiness. Happiness is a perspective. Also, it's a paradox. Shefeekinte Santhosham can be added to the latter". A critic from onManorama wrote that "At a time when Mollywood is churning out different narratives and stories, Shafeekkinte Santhosham featuring Unni Mukundan and directed by Arun Pandalam does not make any attempt to be loud or different. Instead, the filmmaker sticks to the all too familiar terrain. Despite these, the casting, humour and twists do the trick and make the romantic comedy an entertaining watch". A critic from Indian Express rated the film $2.5⁄5$. A reviewer of Zee News Says "Shefiq only wants to make everyone happy. But many people can connect with Shafiq's life in life when it is only prepared with setbacks and failures. There are many Shafiqs in our society. Shafiqs who will do anything to see a smile on someone else's face. Shafiq's happiness is their story". Sanjith Sidhardhan from OTT Play wrote "While Anup doesn’t resort to any experiments with the storytelling format, the movie’s scripts runs out of idea too fast and becomes a stretch, even with a duration of just two hours".

Controversy
Bala alleged that he was not paid for the film, which was dismissed by the director, Unni Mukundan, and the music director.
