Reception

Vinod Talreja of Bollywoodlife.com rated the series 3.5/5 and wrote "The first episode of India's Raw Star definitely impressed us. All the music lovers who are looking for something different will surely love it. We hope it doesn't lose the plot and keeps going like this in coming episodes."

Prathamesh Jadhav from India.com said "The show is a fresh concept indeed, but it ultimately resorts to the gimmicky efforts ( for instance, back story for every contender) that stretches the duration unnecessarily."
