However, he felt that a 'crisper editing' would have been better for film. In the conclusion, he wrote "Smile Please has its highs and lows, the latter overshadowing the former at times, but as a complete film, this one is definitely better than Phadnis’ first. And true to its title, the climax brings a smile to your face."{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movie-reviews/smile-please/movie-review/70292680.cms|title=SMILE PLEASE MOVIE REVIEW|work=The Times of India|first=Mihir|last=Bhanage|date=19 July 2019|access-date=31 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190730170330/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movie-reviews/smile-please/movie-review/70292680.cms|archive-date=30 July 2019|url-status=live}}
