Critics review
''Cinejosh'' wrote that "Anurag Kulkarni and Mangli crooned the song for which lyrics are penned by Kasarla Shyam. Allu Arjun's stylish looks, expensive sets and most importantly the pleasing tune composed by S Thaman makes this an instant hit."
''Tollywood.net'' stated that "'Ramulo Raamulaa' is a peppy number in Telangana slang. The teaser of this song gives a glimpse of film actress Pooja Hegde grooving to the beats. Allu Arjun's steps and Pooja Hegde's glamour are likely to be the highlight of the song."
''123telugu'' on reviewing the music album of the film wrote that "The song has a folk touch, with Thaman's peppy composition and beats. We can expect some cool moves from Bunny, Pooja and others in this number."
''IndiaGlitz'' wrote about the song that "The folksy lyrics get just the kind of musical vibes that a star vehicle needed. Combined with the crooning prowess of Anurag Kulkarni, this one delivers a dekko. Mangli's voice adds to the rustic feel."
