laut.de editor Alexander Engelen rated the album three out of five stars. He found that "even though Cassandra's voice clearly dominates the album, the sometimes sad, sometimes amorous lyrics and the calm, sensitive music create a fitting unity. You won't find any dance hits, upcheering tracks or classics on Seele mit Herz. But for a successful romantic evening it is enough that Cassandra Steen takes the listener on a journey through her heart and soul."[1]
