Kumar of The Times of India gave the film a four star rating out of five and wrote, "Full marks to director BM Giriraj who has worked wonders with a story that captures human values, conflicts, dilemmas and tries to find a solution to them. With a good script and excellent narration, the director has made the movie interesting not only for the class but also for the mass audience." Shyam Prasad. S of Bangalore Mirror gave the film a 4.5/5 rating and wrote, "With just a handful of characters, Jatta dabbles with and intertwines various topics like feminism, male chauvinism, religious intolerance, adultery, Ambedkar-isms, corruption and cultural beliefs; all of which are dealt with in a simple yet engrossing narrative." He concluded by praising the role of all the departments in the film including directing, acting, cinematography and music.
