Aviva editor Lisa Erdmann worte that "of course, Mir So Nah also contains some gentle ballads. But even if you can clearly recognize Moses Pelham's handwriting on titles like "Soo," these songs also combine beautifully familiar and new tones. The soul singer is transforming into a pop icon and the 15 tracks, which she describes as "motivational music," all have incredibly great potential." Ulf Kubanke from laut.de rated the album two out of five stars. He found that "if soul is Moby Dick, then this production is roughly a package of fish fingers. It is precisely that hypothermic Käpt'n Iglo factor that provides this collection with the much-needed bit of sweat and fever. Colleague Joy Denalane showed years ago how to do it really organically and not become an international laughingstock."
