Reception

Tribhuvan Mishra: CA Topper doesn’t try to glorify paid sex or extramarital affairs."[12]

Troy Ribeiro of The Free Press Journal stated "The series delves into themes of desperation and moral compromise with unflinching honesty."[13] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in commented "The conceit is sold through a hyper-real aesthetic."[14] Suparna Sharma of The Week opined "The show is carried valiantly by its actors and their performances."[15] Lachmi Deb Roy of Firstpost commented "If you are viewing the show from the gender arc, the story tells us that as a woman we must celebrate our flaws, vulnerabilities and desires."[16]
