Critical reception

The Hindu wrote "Yad Lagla is a soaring pine-fest of an Ajay-Atul composition, manifests the entire euphoric timeline of puppy love between its notes. Sweeping novels, epic musicals and towering three-hour-long cinematic extravaganzas have waxed giddy about the complexities of this phase; 'love-at-first-sight' has long been art's most prolific breeder. But arguably, no evanescent sound has storyboarded its essence the way this does."[9] Sujan Sengupta of Daily News and Analysis wrote "It brings out the duo’s [Ajay-Atul] compositional skill and musical expertise, with Ajay’s vocals emphasising these aspects."[10] Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India wrote "Ajay variates from low to high pitch and back with ease throughout the song and one can't get enough of the song despite playing it in repeat mode."[11]
