Sify gave 2 out of 5 and stated "Maniyarayile Ashokan is a below average comedy-drama which fails to impress." The Indian Express gave 1 out of 5 stars and stated "Shamzu Zayba did not clearly think through the idea. As with the rest of the movie, director Shamzu doesn’t let this unusual part stick too much and the movie ends as sweetly as the description of the village it began with." Gregory easily adapts to this new character that emerges from the village guy with the government job. It starts with some strange advice from a priest but goes on to affect the man all too much. Watch out for Dulquer and Nazriya’s surprise cameos!" Writing for the Hindustan Times, Haricharan Pudipeddi stated "The film, which revolves around Ashokan (Jacob Gregory) and his attempts to get married, is lighthearted and fun to watch despite its slightly predictable ending." The News Minute gave 3 out of 5 and stated "The typicality of Ashokan’s life, however, fades in the latter part of the film. The Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated " Maniyarayile Ashokan is a slice-of-life story with a genuine dose of humour." Behindwoods gave a rating of 2.75 out of 5 and stated "Maniyarayile Ashokan is a simple story with a big heart, in spite of the slow narration.
