The film was released on 22 July 2022 across Tamil Nadu. K. R. Manigandan of IANS gave the film a positive review, noting "Director Senthil Nathan's Sivi 2 is a reasonably well made Tamil horror flick that manages to win your attention and retain it right till the end".[5] The critic from Times of India gave the film a negative review noting the film "tries too hard to frighten viewers but only end up as a badly-made horror film with logical loopholes".[6]
A critic from Maalai Malar criticised the film, mentioning it was "low on thrills".[7]
