Ronak Kotecha from The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and noted "All in all, it's a hard-hitting show alright, made with a lot of blood and sweat too, which shows onscreen, but in a bid to pack in too much action and drama, Mumbai Diaries ends up becoming a never-ending saga of insipid characters rather than a taut thriller of a life-altering real event."{{Citation |title=Mumbai Diaries 26/11 Season 1 Review: Hard-hitting and raw but struggles to capture the scale of 26/11 |newspaper=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/mumbai-diaries-26/11/season-1/seasonreview/86010260.cms |access-date=2023-01-16}}

Praising the performance of cast, The Indian Express reviewer stated "Mumbai Diaries 26/11 works best when, in between all the craziness, some of the characters stop to take a breath, and exchange glances or words. It makes you believe that there is still some goodness in the world."{{Cite web |date=2021-09-09 |title=Mumbai Diaries 26/11 review: An urgent and swift series that feels authentic |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/web-series/mumbai-diaries-26-11-review-an-urgent-and-swift-series-that-feels-authentic-7497906/ |access-date=2023-01-16 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}
