CD Journal magazine praised Aki's bass lines and composition and described the song as a “ballad that incorporates a Japanese atmosphere in terms of sound and lyrics.”^[1] JaME World portal reviewed “Otegami” as a song that stands out in what it sets out to do, being "natural" and the "perfect blend of musicality and atmosphere." It also mentioned that the instruments are very well placed, including the addition of the harp. However, the portal was not as positive about the B-side "Life", mentioning that it is a pop song that, because it contrasts too much with its predecessor, alters the overall experience.^[5]
