Love Mocktail 3 arrives on your favourite Z5 Kannada in just 2 days.”)" ETimes gave the film a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5. The review appreciated the sincerity in the performances while also noting that the film did not fully recreate the emotional depth of the earlier installments.Our exclusive review stated, "Performance-wise, the cast delivers sincere but understated portrayals. The technical aspects, including music—which was a standout feature in the previous films—offer a few pleasant moments but don’t leave a strong lasting impression. In conclusion, Love Mocktail 3 serves as a closure for fans who have followed Adi’s journey from the beginning."
