laut.de editor Sven Kabelitz rated the album one out of five stars. He found that "with her fourth solo album Spiegelbild, Cassandra Steen presents herself closer to Helene Fischer than to Mary J. Blige [...] Greasy pop-soul junk with texts and emotions copied from sentimental Diddl postcards from the discount store display [...] Spiegelbild treats music not as an art form, but as a well-calculated product. You won't find any real emotions or even stories."[1]
