Upon its release in 2020, Jamtara received mostly positive reviews. Critics praised its raw, documentary-style cinematography and authentic dialect. However, some felt the pacing was slow in the middle episodes. Despite that, the series holds a respectable rating on aggregator sites.

Inspired by true events, the show captures the technical simplicity and psychological manipulation used in "vishing" (voice phishing).
