"Variety" wrote that "Despite a cast that "reunites" some of Hindi cinema's biggest names, the long-awaited "Hum  Tumhare Hain Sanam" which finally premiered in late May, reps a major disappointment, of interest offshore only to Bollywood historians". "Empire Online" noted that "Love triangles are a common device in Bollywood flicks, and sadly, "Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam" has nothing new to offer." A critic from "Radio Times" stated that "Nuance isn't a Bollywood speciality, and there's little in the way of subtle shading here but, with its impressive all-star cast and songs from some of India's leading composers, this enjoyable melodrama can't be beaten for big, bold emotion". "The Times of India" wrote  that "The film is a ready reckoner for everything that should be avoided in a good film". Reviewer Anita Bora writes "A medium-sized dose of love with a big dash of suspicion. Add to it several scoops of friendship. Towards the end, add a few drops of humor". She even says that "The premise of the film is simple. Jealousy. If you discount the fact the 'falling in love' was instant (but when is it not?), the topic is quite interesting. Haven't we all at some point read too much into situations, overreacted, undergone pangs of jealousy that  seem downright silly later?" Box office.
