The initial reactions of the audience indicate that the standalone instalment has fallen nothing short of its expectations. One netizen called it a "well-executed spy thriller" while another called it the 'best espionage series' the country has witnessed. One user wrote, "Off to a flying start #SpecialOPS 1.5, barely 20 min into the first episode and you'll be treated with a couple of whistle worthy moments." Another user also spoke about the 'on-point' coming timings, while specifically hailing Vinay Pathak's act as Abbas Sheikh. 

With only four episodes in the current instalment, fans have also urged the makers to bring out season 2 of the espionage thriller. "Eagerly waiting for the #SpecialOps 2.0 now", one user wrote. One Twitterati shed light on the show's plot becoming regular in the middle while the thrill factor not falling at par with their expectations. However, Menon's 'Terrific Performance' has still been the show's high point.
