Critical reception

Indiaglitz wrote "Director S B Kanthan deserves a pat for getting the best from his artistes. Though the movie seems to be an extension of Crazy Mohan's stage plays, the hilarious sequence makes it engrossing".[4] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "'Jerry' is more like a Crazy Mohan play gone bad. A laugh riot gone awry. A film that is an insult to audience inelligence".[5] Sify wrote "Crazy Mohan and Kamalhassan have given us some great comedies in the past. But this time, the writer disappoints as the comedy in Jery fails to evoke any laughter. The film falls flat as Crazy is clueless, debutant director Kanthan is helpless and hero Ramesh is pure teakwood!".[6]
