Critical

Manoj Kumar R of Indian Express rated the film three out of five and appreciated the story, performance by actors, Vidyasagar's music and its placement in film, characterisation and comedy, saying "Almost 30 minutes into the film, I realised that I have been grinning widely and frequently breaking into a laugh. And this continued till the end of the film."[14] Rating three out of five, in a review for Manorama Online, Amrutha Menon P called the film "a rustic bundle of love and wine" and appreciated the comic performances by actors, music and story and concluded saying "Thoppil Joppan's climax may be predictable, but there too we find ample scope for fun. If you are a Mammooty fan and feel it's time to enjoy a movie with family, Joppan welcomes you to Thopramkudy. The megastar has kept his word."[15] Calling the film "Right mix of fun, booze and romance", Aravind. K S, in a review for Deccan Chronicle, also gave a rating of three out of five and concluded, saying "Like his previous Achayan roles, Mammootty’s Joppan also will be a memorable character in his career. Actors Sohan, Alencier, Mamtha, Jude Anthany Joseph and Saju have come up with good performances. Cinematographer Sunoj and music director Vidyasagar also have backed the director to come up with a clean family entertainer."[16]
