Aminath Luba revieweing from Sun was pleased with the comic-timing of the characters and toning down the comical value to the required level, rather than going over the top. "From actors capturing the traits to presenting the comedy narrations, the directors and actors have pulled off their respective roles to near perfection".[6] Echoing similar sentiments, Ahmed Rasheed from MuniAvas complimented the writing of the series for incorporating moral ethics alongside the comedy".[7]
