Saattai opened to positive reviews from critics. Sifys critic described the film as a decent entertainer which harps loudly on the message it wants to convey, noting that director M Anbazhgan has neatly worked the film around Samuthirakanis character but at times it becomes too preachy and sentimental. M. Suganth from The Times of India gave itout ofand claimed that Saattai was a commercial potboiler dressed up as arty fare. The reviewer further wrote Anbazhagans intentions are quite commendable ... but the sad thing is that he goes about this task with less subtlety and more sermonizing, with the result that the scenes where he wishes to make a point come across as totally preachy. Similarly, Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu wrote The aim is lofty, the theme, noble. It is in execution that director Anbazhagan falters a little. She concluded that the film was at times obviously sermonising but still ... worthy of notice. Behindwoodss reviewer gave itout ofand noted The preachy dialogues in the film are what students listen to in real life.
