Critics s found the film to be boring or disconnected from the genre it aimed to represent. Users on IMDb gave Agent a rating of 4.3/10.

While this was intended to be a breakthrough film for Akhil Akkineni, positioning him as a prominent action hero, it faced numerous challenges and fell short of expectations at the box office.
