## Reviews

Shubham Kulkarni of Koimoi gave the series a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and stated, "I understand the audience of the show doesn’t watch it as critically, and the makers have catered to them. But that doesn’t mean nobody assesses a show that has the potential to be good. With a whole lot of flaws, Mismatched Season 2 manages to not sink but the future deserves more to sail."
Ronak Kotecha of the Times of India rated the season 3 out of 5, saying "The overall treatment of this season too remains quite breezy and superficial with issues that are relatable for the youth while some seem like clichéd stereotypical situations that have been exploited far too many times before." NDTV rated the season 3.6 out of 5. Poulomi Das of Firstpost rated the season 2 out of 5, saying "Rohit Saraf and Prajakta Koli’s Netflix rom-com series continues to be a wasted opportunity."
