In a review for AllMusic, Mariano Prunes describes the album as "a sort of return to their roots by a band that was once truly original", but whose "unexpected international success has been unequivocally steering them in the direction of generic Latin pop". At the end of the review, Prunes commented: "In brief, Magistral is a good Miranda! album, not as inspired or creative as their first two efforts, but it is less uneven and less vapid than El Disco de Tu Corazón or Miranda Es Imposible! , but it is an effort that will ultimately neither add nor subtract much from their discography".
