''Indiaglitz'' wrote "Sundar C has a penchant for comedy capers that are low on logic but high on entertainment. Chinna is unlike Sundar C's film, which is not just very serious but also lacks his trademark humour. However thanks to a fast narration and good performance by Sneha, Chinna manages to leave an impression with the audience."<ref>{{Cite web |date=18 July 2005 |title=Chinna Review |url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/chinna-tamil-movie-review-7541.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412132354/https://www.indiaglitz.com/chinna-tamil-movie-review-7541.html |archive-date=12 April 2023 |access-date=17 March 2023 |website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref> Malini Mannath of ''Chennai Online'' wrote, "Arjun, expectedly, does his fights and stunts with flair, his intense grim look suiting the role well.
