A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Shirin, with her lively performance, is sure to entertain youngistan. Sumalatha and Sharathbabu are graceful. Music by Abhiman Roy has some foot-tapping numbers". A critic fromàDeccan Herald wrote "Suchendra Prasad gets to showcase his worth yet again, but only just. Some of the dialogues put the brakes on the thinking processes. But when the viewer can be satisfied with a) the chase scene b) the pleasant songs and c) another close-up of the KRS in all its barren glory, things like âÂÂvaluesâ recede into oblivion quite naturally". Atul Chaturvedi fromàBangalore Mirror wrote à"Sterling acts by Sumalatha, Loknath, Suchindra Prasad and Atul Kulkarni add power to the film.àAbhiman Roy music has two good tunes and S Manohar captures the richness well.ààIf you have enjoyed at least one of RaoâÂÂs previous films, AK56 is the film for you". A critic fromàRediff.com wrote "Suchendra Prasad walks away with the acting honours for his powerful dialogue delivery as a cop. Sumalatha, Sharath Babu, Atul Kulkarni and Lokanath are adequate. Shobhraj and Kote Prabhakar add value as the baddies. AK 56àis one of the best films made by Omprakash; it is better than his decade-old filmàAK 47". A critic fromàNews18 India wrote "Songs composed by Abhiman Roy are unimpressive. Manohar is good behind the camera. 'AK 56' may look for action film lovers only, but the film has too many flaws". Y Maheswara Reddy fromàDNA wrote "Even music director Abhiman Roy has done a neat job with the songàKadhu Kadhu Noodthaale. All criticism aside, for all those who enjoy good action films, this could definitely spice up your weekend".
