Reception

Critical response

'' Rediff.com'' gave the series 4.5 / 5 stars, and stated, "Much of the credit for CID's success should go to Singh, and its cast, especially Shivaji Satam who plays ACP Pradyuman". It stated, "Its actors, or at least the core of the cast who have been a part of the series since its inception are so popular they have become household names."{{cite news, url=https://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jul/27/tv-cid-a-hit-with-viewers.htm, title=The TV show with the highest ratings, newspaper=Rediff, access-date=22 April 2015, archive-date=10 May 2015, archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150510093531/http://movies.rediff.com/report/2010/jul/27/tv-cid-a-hit-with-viewers.htm, url-status=live Rahul Hegde of ''Rediff'' giving the same ratings stated, "The crime detective series is still going strong". ''The Times of India'' stated, "CID which has constantly entertained its viewers with unique and challenging cases is also known for its different jokes in the world of internet." Kristina Das of ''India Today'' in a retrospective review in 2020, wrote, "The show had a cult following, even the non-viewers had shown interests. Except for logic, the show had everything, literally. The concept of the show was different, a tad bit too different, you may say. But at times, the makers dragged the episodes with unnecessarily lengthy dialogues when there was no content available."

Impact and legacy

''CID'' has gained a cult status and following among the audience, owing to its episodes, cast, characters, comedy and story.{{Cite web, url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/etimes, title=CID trivia, quirks, facts and clichés we bet you didn't know, website=The Times of India, access-date=25 October 2021, archive-date=4 July 2023, archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230704161951/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/etimes, url-status=live ''CID'' entered in both Guinness World Records and Limca Book of Records, for shooting uncut for 111 minutes for the episode named "The Inheritance", in October 2004. Singer Lata Mangeshkar admitted to being a fan of the series.

Abhishek Raghunath of ''Forbes India'' noted: "Millions of Indians wait for CID to play out on their TV screens three nights a week on Sony. The characters—ACP Pradyuman, Sr. Inspectors Abhijeet and Daya, forensic expert Dr Salunkhe, and a host of others—have attained cult status. In an age obsessed with sex, the show is entirely devoid of it and there is no melodrama, a staple of successful Indian soaps since 1999." Rhea Candy from ''Film Companion'' stated the chemistry of the cast members and it being a family show, the main reason behind ''CID''{{'s success. She added, "Today, the show incites mixed reactions. There is an acknowledgement of the institution it is; of the actors, directors and writers it has nurtured, and the efforts it has poured into churning out consistent entertainment. There are also unabashed memes inspired by ''CID''{{'s peculiarities."{{Cite web, url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/features/indepth-stories/25-years-of-cid-cops-as-buddies-dayas-pink-shirts-and-cracking-the-code-of-cids-popularity, title=25 years of CID: Cops as buddies, Daya's pink shirts and cracking the code of CID's popularity, website=Film Companion, date=19 January 2023 , access-date=19 January 2023, archive-date=10 August 2023, archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810161951/https://www.filmcompanion.in/features/indepth-stories/25-years-of-cid-cops-as-buddies-dayas-pink-shirts-and-cracking-the-code-of-cids-popularity, url-status=live
