ReceptionShubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, writing "Varun Sobti gets the hungry-actor look right, but the smiley Shenaz Treasurywala needed to be deeper"[3] The Hindu wrote "A livewire, Shehnaz has finally got a film to showcase her talent and she doesn’t disappoint as the prim and proper girl who feels she is sorted but is actually not. She fumbles when the character demands more depth but is consistently fun to watch. Barun is not bad either but they have been saddled with a material that has long lost its bite. Even the tribute to Anil Kapoor-Amrita Singh starrer "Yaar Bina Chain Kaha Re" (Saaheb) fail to generate goose bumps. It only makes you miss an era when even tripe was stirred well."[4] Paloma Sharma of Rediff.com gave the film half star out of 5, writing "Barun Sobti fares better than his costars in the acting department. Main aur Mr Riight is a tad too pretentiously philosophical to be taken seriously."[5] Bollywood Hungama gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, writing "On the whole, MAIN AUR MR. RIIGHT can be avoided without any regrets.[1] References
