Kanni Penn was released on 11 September 1969. The critic from The Indian Express criticised the film's length of 19 reels but wrote, "[Jaishankar] is getting acceptable as an actor. [Vanisri] as the girl in miserable circumstances gives a very good account of herself. In fact, she is the best in the movie."
