Reception.
While writing about the talk show, Karthik Keramalu of "Film Companion" stated that: "There’s a certain casualness and a sense of intimacy when a celebrity interviews another, and that seems to be the USP of many new talk shows in Telugu." "Sakshi Post" criticized the show by opining that "Sam Jam" is mishmash of other several Telugu programmes like "Bathuku Jatka Bandi, Ali tho Saradaga" and "Cash".
