In their review Cinestaan gave the film three stars from five, praising the direction, writing, and cinematic finesse while criticising the overpowering heavy metal soundtrack and a few over-the top performances. The reviewer considered: "Gopi Bhagat’s experienced camerawork and editor Sanglap Bhowmick’s fine trimming of the scenes make 8/12 one of the better Bengali period films made in recent times." [12] Jani News gave the film a positive review, praising the direction, acting and cinematography. The reviewer stated: "The way director Arun Roy presents the forty minutes of armed struggle in a very restrained manner, with beautiful choreography in just 12/13 minutes, has probably never been seen in a Bengali film before." [13] Ananda Bazaar also gave a positive review, praising the acting and direction while criticising the music and pacing of the story. [14]
