AllMusic editor Michael Gallucci found that "on her second album, [Price] goes through many R&B motions – over-singing, pallid bedroom songs, tuneless tales – but still manages to sound like a genuinely thrilled diva in the process. Filled with slow jams, slick hip-hop, and gospel, Mirror Mirror is a more rounded record than Price's debut [...] She puts an individualist's stamp on the album, a looking glass, if you will, into her soul." [1] Billboard critic Michael Paoletta called Mirror Mirror a "reflection of what lies ahead for Price (and why shouldn't it be?), one thing is certain: She's here to stay." [4]
Mirror Mirror debuted and peaked at number five on the US Billboard 200 in the week of July 15, 2000. [5] It became Price's first top ten entry on the chart, selling 157,000 copies in its first week of release. [6] The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 7, 2001. [7] By July 2003, Mirror Mirror had sold 1.07 million copies in the United States.
