Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV awarded 3 stars to the movie and wrote in his review "It is a lively, warm film marked by insight, intelligence and imagination and buoyed by a bunch of flawless performances."^[12] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and stated "It’s all very likeable even if predictable, because this is not the kind of film that’s going to leave any of its characters hanging or desolate".^[13] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wasn't positive about the movie and opined "Wanting to normalise menstruation and homosexuality is always appreciated but Sharmajee Ki Beti's airy-fairy approach doesn't quite convince."^[14]

Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times stated "What truly steals the show in Sharmajee Ki Beti is Divya Dutta's heartwarming performance as a housewife on a journey of self-discovery."^[15] Arushi Jain of India Today too gave a negative review "Over its nearly two-hour runtime, it takes some effort to sit through."^[16] Snigdha Nalini of Outlook India stated "The movie is, at best, a one-time feel-good watch and that is a good attempt from a debutante director."^[17] Shreyas Pande of The New Indian Express gave only 1.5/5 stars and wrote "The film doesn’t believe in thoughtful reflection and merely underlines some pre-existing issues faced by women."^[18] Sonal Pandya of Times Now expressed "Keeping the focus on the teenage girls and their families would have been simpler."^[19] Riya Sharma of Daily News and Analysis felt "as if it is a four-hour-long film" and wrote in her review "The film tries to deal with too many things at once."^[20]

Suparna Sharma of The Week stated "It’s easy to make a big film about big things with big characters. But it’s always difficult to write with nuance about the daily occurrences.."^[21] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in praised Divya Dutta's performance and wrote "Although Kiran’s track is the most complicated as well as the most easily resolved, Dutta is an endearing superwoman."^[22] Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint gave some positive review with 3.5/5 stars "Tahira Kashyap Khurrana’s film leaves you wanting more – both of it and from it."^[23]
