The critical response to Ugly was largely positive, though some reviewers were more reserved in their praise, especially when comparing it to Kashyap's previous work.

The review praised the film's "dismay permeating from the very first frame" but criticized the narrative for becoming "too busy and intricate for its own good" in its second half.
