Joginder Tuteja from Bollywood Hungama gave the album 3 stars out of 5, stating that while the album did not have one single track which could be marked as THE song of the album, it had a fine assortment of numbers belonging to different genres which made it a decent listening experience.[4]
Patcy N of Rediff.com gave the film 3.5 out of 5, writing, "This well-woven thriller keeps you involved throughout, and one can't help but appreciate the director's efforts."[5] Subhash K Jha of IANS gave the film 2 out of 5, writing, "Well-packaged and evenly narrated, Aggar has a plot that keeps the narration going at a hot trot till the very last visual spills out in a pool of blood."[6]
The film was a financial debacle, which Tusshar Kapoor acknowledged and attributed to poor publicity; he felt that releasing the film during the holy month of Ramzan and Ganesh Chaturthi as well as the India-Pakistan match left viewers with no time for Aggar.[7]
