Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote that "On the whole, Kahan Ho Tum lacks in merits to leave an impression".[2] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Vijay Kumar and his team have obviously set out to search for a missing link in the contemporary social framework. But the search finally proves futile. What we have is a film that can't seem to sit straight on its perch of idealism.. It topples over and falls off the edge under the weight of compromises".[3]
On the contrary, a critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "It is one of those films where you go to the theater not knowing what to expect and you come out pleasantly surprised" and added that "The story is not one of any great intrigue or originality. The treatment is. There is a bit of the Hitchcock in Vijay Kumar as he tells us the story. There is not any needless delving into family backgrounds or past lives".[4]
