The film received mixed reviews from critics. Anusree Gupta of NEWSMEN wrote– "Sangabora promised a mix of adventure and mystery: it had a strong plot and talented actors, but the execution has been very poor." Applauding Kharaj Mukherjee's acting, Gupta stated that ill-timed shots and forced romance sequences pulled the quality down.[5] Chitra Home Chowdhury of Dekh News found Soumitra Chatterjee's performance "powerful" and wrote that the film was "beautifully picturized".[6]
