Joginder Tuteja on Rediff.com[16] has given 4/5 stars ratings applauding that it will keep engrossed right through, with the needle of suspicion move to every character in the story. All the actors have played their role well. The writing and dialogues of the web series are good and there were no unwanted scenes. Further criticized that "When the core story works, everything else is secondary, and this holds true in the case of LSD"
Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India Review team has given 3/5 stars rating stating that it is a worth watching with a healthy dose of entertainment and fascination. With young doctors in action it is a high on adrenaline. The series has no dull moment and actors have given justice to their roles. Some of them couldn't make it through, however, all the women actors were in characters compare it to men. Loud background score, unwanted abuses and the constant back and forth in the timeline could have been avoided.
Apoorv Shandilya from Xappie[17] has given 3/5 stars rating saying that doctors can skip this show as it is fiction based story, while others can watch it for one time at least. Criticized that Rahul Dev performance steal the show and story made more appealing. On the negative front, he stated that "The relationship between young interns and senior doctors within the hospital is made increasingly hostile just to please the show’s story". During the pandemic situation this isn't the good time to release a show that portrays doctors in the light of evil murderers.
Pakaao[18] has given 3.5/stars rating for this web series stating it is good show with plot and execution. Script pace was high from the beginning till the end and dialogues were very good. Acting by Siddharth Menon, Tanaya Sachdeva and Rahul Dev were good. Music, Cinematography, Special Effects, Editing team and directors has done a good job.
