Season 1 
Thadhagath Pathi writing for The Times of India, stated that Parampara tries to depict the family factions with detailed and intense characters, with directors Krishna Vijay and deserving credit for the same. No two characters show hate towards each other but everyone is aware of their true feelings, and that’s a win for this privileged family drama and rated 2.5 out of 5. Season 2 
Citing it as "a racier follow-up" Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote that "The twists and turns in Parampara are staple tropes of mainstream cinema. A long-form series can lend itself to newer and more intriguing subplots rather than offering more of the same, predictable storylines". Arvind V of Pinkvilla gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and praised the performances of Chandra and Sarathkumar. Echoing the same, 123Telugu gave a rating of 2.75 out of 5 and stated: "Parampara S2 has scope for good drama and engaging screenplay but is brought down by uneven sequences. The writing needs to be blamed for making it underwhelming". Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Parampara Season 2 has swag, emotion and action but unnecessarily gets undone by overbearing ‘indebted’ rhetoric." Satya Pulagam writing for ABP News stated "The second season seems to be better than the first season, there are some interesting political and family moments and drama." References
