The critics' response has been positive to mixed. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 4 stars out of 5.[3] Rishitu Amarnani gave the film 4 out of 5 stars on India-forums.com[4] Subhash K Jha gave 3.5 out of 5.[5] Kaveree Bamzai of India Today gave 3 out of 5.[6] Zee News gave 3 out of 5.[7] Raja Sen of Rediff rated it 1.5 out of 5, saying that it is a film made in bad taste.[8] Harish of Behindwoods rated it 2 out of 5 and said "Overall in the time of stylish filmmaking of no substance movies, RGV tries to differ but with such a wafer-thin but powerful plot-line, you expect the background music, editing and camera work to push it to greatness and that is where the movie falters."[9]

Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times said "it delves deeper into neither the young dream-chasers of a scary celeb industry nor chilling procedurals of an infamous police case", and rated it 2 out of 5.[10] CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand said "Not A Love Story' is not entirely unwatchable", rating it 2 out of 5, but asserted that it is the "most senseless movie made in Bollywood for a long time."[11] Nupur Barua of fullhyd.com rated it 6/10 and said you can watch the movie if you can digest, visually, blood, gore, violent sex, and constant shaky camera movement.[12]
