Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Pranitha is impressive. Darshan walks away with all the honours in a guest appearance. Master Snehith is sweet in his childish role. Music by V Harikrishna and camera by MR Seenu are added attractions". A critic from DNA wrote "Snehitaru looks more like a platform that producer Soundarya Jagdeesh has used to reintroduce his son and child actor, Snehit. So if you are planning to give the film a miss, all we’ll say is that you are not missing much!". Srikanth Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Vijay Raghavendra and Ravishankar are good. Snehith impresses while Pranitha looks good. Ramesh Bhat and Girija Lokesh are adequate. Songs by Gridhar are average. Snehitaru is a light-hearted entertainer". A critic from Pinkvilla wrote ""Snehitharu" is a mass entertainer that will keep the audience fully engaged. It has an interesting script coupled with good performances and neat technical work". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "He seems to have an unending supply of tunes that hit the bull’s eye every time. His wife and son have also joined forces with him as singers in this film. MR Seenu, the cinematographer is another star performer in the film".
