Alexis Petridis of ''The Guardian'' named it his album of the week, describing it as "rich, rewarding, spellbinding music" and "abundantly melodic, constantly surprising and unequivocally fantastic".<ref name="Guardian"/> Tony Inglis of ''The Skinny'' wrote that on the album, "Fratti's songs are fluid, slippery objects. They take genre – dream pop, jazz, contemporary classical – and turn it inside out, delivering familiar thrills in unrecognisable guises", all with "a confident sense of rhythm".<ref name="Skinny"/>

''Exclaim!''{{'}}s Eric Hill said that "the full array of her influences and interests are on display" and that "the album's quest for answers, or more questions, present a challenge for those who prefer a more cohesive experience".<ref name="Exclaim!"/> Skye Butchard of ''The Quietus'' observed that "the sparser tracks are just as strong" and "it's all so assured, yet Fratti never returns to the same thought for long".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thequietus.com/quietus-reviews/mabe-fratti-sentir-que-no-sabes-review/|title=Mabe Fratti – ''Sentir que no sabes''|website=The Quietus|last=Butchard|first=Skye|date=24 June 2024|access-date=27 June 2024}}</ref> ''The Wire'' opined that "sometimes the music lingers too long in the in-between places, as though it's not sure where it's going. It probably doesn't make sense for music that deals in ambivalence to be settled in itself, but some listeners may require a tiny bit more to believe in."<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Mabe Fratti – ''Sentir Que No Sabes''|magazine=The Wire|page=50|date=July 2024}}</ref>

Isabelia Herrera of ''Pitchfork'' found that "Fratti moves closer to the silhouettes of pop and rock than ever before. These songs start to follow more discernible and familiar forms—although she continues to luxuriate in the oblique."<ref name="PF"/> Reviewing the album for ''Beats Per Minute'', John Amen opened his review by writing that Fratti "juxtaposes balmy euphonies and startling discordance, her instrumental choices unfurling as precise complements to her vocal and lyrical forays". He concluded, "Vocally, lyrically, and sonically, Fratti captures the way in which the micro and macro are forever colliding, shrinking, erupting, dissolving around us and, more pressingly, within us."<ref name="BPM"/>
