Veeyen of Nowrunning wrote that "Annarakkannanum Thannalayathu fits into the Kalabhavan Mani film mould quite adeptly. What I mean is, it starts off with an introduction to the village bumpkin with loads of goodness in the heart, lets him break into a foot tapping song quite soon enough, has him bash up a couple of baddies who simply refuse to listen to him, fall in love with a woman who sees the real him, and finally walk off into the sunset with the girl and his aides in tow".^[5]
