Release

The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and stated that "Dear Dad deserves a watch simply for the profound point it makes about accepting people for who they are and loving them unconditionally". The Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Luckily, “Dear Dad” is strong enough to withstand extraneous attacks. It is a strong subject and a potentially powerful film replete with the tenderness and brutality that those whom we love tend to thrust on us when pushed to the wall". The Hindu wrote that "So once the disclosure is over and done with there’s nothing else to keep you hooked, Arvind Swamy’s pleasing presence and earnest effort notwithstanding".
