'' wrote "Priyamani looks apathetic towards her assignment but excels in dance sequences. Sanjana too showed off her moves. Bullet Prakash, as a prospective groom, has the potential to make your funny bones tickle. Music director Ramana Gogula has done a neat job. It is worth a watch provided you have the patience". Shruti I. L. from
DNA wrote "He tickles your funny bone right from the beginning. Popular musician Ramana Gokula has scored the music. But none of his songs linger on. Ko Ko is your mundane commercial potboiler. It brings with it a few twists and turns but it’s not too long before you figure out what’s awaiting you at the end of the road".
