Release and reception
The film received negative response from critics. Ahmed Nadheem of Haveeru noted the film as "another boring, slow paced" Maldivian film which lacks originality. Displeased with the screenplay and performance of the film, he wrote: "None of the actors were given scope to build their characters and none was able to justify their character. With excessive emotional scenes, actors were exposed to over-acting and nothing more". The cinematography of few songs were noted to be the only saving grace of the film.{{cite news|url=http://haveeru.com.mv/dhivehi/film_review/119380 |title=An inside peak of "Love Story" |language=Divehi |work=Haveeru |last=Nadheem |first=Ahmed |date=4 April 2012 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003123710/https://archive.mv/dv/articles/Y9Ooa |url-status=dead |archivedate=3 October 2018 |accessdate=3 October 2018}}
