Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! received generally positive reviews. India Abroad called it a "cloyingly familial and touchingly sad melodrama replete with typical Indian social situations".[1] Tripat Narayanan of New Straits Times criticised the plot as "paper-thin" and the last scenes as clichéd, but said Barajiya handled them so well that "Renuka's smiling bride face is immortalised as an epitome of goodness."
