Jeevi of Idlebrain.com opined that "In a nut shell, Sravanamasam is an utterly disappointing film". Preetam Akkineni of Full Hyderabad mocked the film and said that "If the number of heroines isn't inspiration enough to watch the movie, maybe the gold being given away to lucky viewers is. To find out more about that, watch the film". A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "There is no point in talking about the actors' and actresses' work when the story and its treatment are so amateurish. The intermixing of politics into the story is like adding bits of onion in halwa".

Despite the failure of this film, Posani Krishna Murali went on to direct many films including Operation Duryodhana (2007). Karthikeya Goud, one of the leads in this film, went on to play cameos in Ullasamga Utsahamga and Do Lafzon Ki Kahani.
