Critical reception

Yahoo's Dotmusic gave "So High" a mixed review. They stated, "New kid on the block Jamelia swings into town with this slice of R&B which never manages to rise above the mediocre. She can sing, the beats roll, the bass tones swing, the chords funk - hey, you might even find your head nodding Flat Eric style! It's just we've heard this a 1000 times before and when the chorus slips into "So high, So high...You're making me..." things take a nosedive. It's a shame as Jamelia's got a great voice and with the right production could lift a tune.^[3]
