'' gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and stated that "The movie's first half breezes effortlessly - the hangover humour, fantastic visuals, a bit of father-son bond, and the car journey to Goa keep the viewers entertained. However, while still engaging in parts, the second half suffers a slight drag and monotony in the characters' mannerisms". ''123Telugu'' gave a final verdict stating: "''7 Days 6 Nights'' is a youthful drama that has passable comedy and emotions. But the story, narration, and proceedings are ordinary and do not give that kick that is expected from such comedy capers, and end the film as a below-average watch". ''NTV'' in their review opined that dialogues and duration are film's plus points, whereas slow-pace narration, story and screenplay are film's negative factors.
