The Times of India rated the film as average, citing that the film attempted to showcase an emotional family story but faltered due to routine storytelling and weak character development. The Hindu noted that the film's pacing was slow and the plot was clichéd, which might not appeal to viewers seeking innovative narratives. However, some reviews appreciated the film's intentions and the portrayal of family values, though they concluded that the execution did not match the ambition. Overall, Payyans was seen as a typical family-centric film without much novelty, garnering a lukewarm response from critics and fans of Malayalam cinema.
