Critical reception
Sify wrote "On the whole Veerappu, is a clean family entertainer with a nice message, worth a look." T S V Hari of Rediff.com wrote "The yarn has been 'commercially treated' to suit Tamil sensibilities one would be led to believe. Save for the fast paced moments towards the climax and the punctuations of stunt scenes, the result is slow and too pat." Anamika of Kalki praised the acting of Sundar and Prakash Raj, Kasi Viswanathan's editing and Badri's dialogues but panned Imman's songs and Selvaraj's cinematography and climax looking forced. Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "It's an unpretentious, fairly engaging entertainer, with a racy narrative style and not many lagging moments".
