Critical response 
Amigos received mixed reviews from critics. Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu  wrote "Kalyan Ram does try to shoulder the proceedings, but had the writing been better, this could have been a gripping thriller drama. Ghibran’s soundtrack adds some drama but ultimately, Amigos ends up as an interesting idea that does not take off." Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Overall, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram’s acting prowess and presence, with a touch of action and comedy, make this action thriller work in parts. His portal of Bipin stands out. It’s not a perfect film, but it has enough to keep the viewer engaged." 123Telugu gave 2.75 out of 5 stars and wrote "Amigos works to an extent and highly benefits from the excellent performance of Kalyan Ram. Ashika, Brahmaji, and others justified their roles. The film actually had more scope but it wasn’t utilized to the full extent. The film has a decent second half and a below-par first half." Latha Srinivasan of India Today gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "At the outset, the storyline is interesting and, seeing the success of playing dual roles in Bimbisara, Kalyan Ram has gone the extra mile and played a triple role in this Amigos. Director Rajendra Reddy has tried to give all three men – Manju, Michael and Siddhu – different characterisations, but he has succeeded the most only with Michael, who has come scope for performance."
