Ruchi Kaushal of "Hindustan Times" reviewed "The slice-of-life stories have the ability to bestow you with the gift of smile and not just a slight tug of the upper lip but an ear-to-ear grin." Pratishruti Ganguly of "Firstpost" rated 4 out of 5 and wrote "For the most part though, "Zindagi inShort" proves to  be worth your time. If you are in the mood to indulge in some web-watching this weekend, this omnibus of short, delectable nuggets of entertainment, sans the pressure of commitment to countless follow-up seasons, will not disappoint." Shubham Kulkarni of "Koimoi" gave the same rating and stated "Zindagi inShorts is a concept that needs to be promoted. Watch it to see how a story can be told in a limited timeframe without compromising on anything. Watch it to see how varies pallet of stories we have and endorse." Nandini Ramanath of "Scroll.in" summarised "The emphasis in "Zindagi inShort  is on feel-good, even when the evidence suggests that this isn't always possible. The spread, which has been produced by Guneet Monga's Sikhya Entertainment for Flipkart Video, consists of slices of life that are mostly sweet with a touch of the savoury and the spicy. Rahul Desai of "Film Companion" stated "Flipkart Video Originals’ "Zindagi inShort" is unrestricted by a common theme or, as it's known in producer parlance, a “peg”. At the worst of times, it turns into a gimmick. Each of "Zindagi"’s seven shorts looks like a story that the maker wants to  tell rather than one that must forcibly fit a brief."
