Komal Nahta for  "Film Information" wrote "Shadow Assassins is for a thin section of the audience in Assam only, because the story is about happenings in that state. For the rest of the world, there’s precious little in the film. Flop." Pravasi Express wrote "Singaporean actor, KP Sandhu stars in a pivotal role as Neeraj Deka, a ruthless anti-ULFA radical who goes to extreme lengths to hinder the movement. The film’s moving soundtrack by Javed Ali and Ashu Chakraborty has also received international acclaim." Ambar Chatterjee for EastMojo wrote "I watched Shadow Assassins in a practically empty theatre. This brings me to the point that I have raised numerous times before. We have to support our regional cinema and our own stories. If a film like this fails at the box office, it will deter many others from making films on similar subjects or on Assam as a whole." Anurag Sinha wins Best Actor Award for his portrayal of ‘Nirbhay Kalita’ at New Jersey Indian & International Film Festival and Alternative Film Festival, Toronto in 2023. Awards and nominations
