Variety reviewer David Stratton said "Yara succeeds on one level: as a portrait of an independent femme’s struggle to escape her environment and survive against all the odds stacked against her. But pic suffers from melodramatic elements and a lack of motivation, making for dim international commercial prospects".[2]

Allmusic's Michael G. Nastos noted, "the music of Khalil does stand beautifully on its own ... Selections flow freely into each other, much unison playing between the string instruments is prevalent, and Khalil takes the bulk of the lead ... There's pure wonder and revelation in this music. You'll have to see the film to get the full gist, but without the moving pictures, Khalil's unique music is indeed a moving experience in and of its own accord. Recommended".[4] In JazzTimes, Josef Woodard said "Yara emerges here as a set of tunes standing up on its own musical merits-with cinematic evocations, but also a coherent life of its own. The pieces tend to be based on linear, horizontal constructions, entrancingly winding melodies ... this chamber setting conveys a sense of melancholic elegance, alternately bustling with subtle energy and purring with a sad, languid beauty".[5]
