Professional ratings AllMusic  All About Jazz  The Guardian  PopMatters  AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and the review by Thom Jurek states "The album is the most groove-driven, performable, and accessible record in Food's catalog". All About Jazz reviewers said, "expect the unexpected. Strnen's production process distills the band's improvisational flights into compact piecesnot quite conventional tunes, but almost" and "This is Not a Miracle is not a miracle, in fact. The Guardian's John Fordham said "The album belongs more to Strnen than Food's previous recordings, and it's none the worse for that". PopMatters' John Garratt said "This Is Not a Miracle is the result of the heavy editing and thankfully the process has not diluted the power that Food have displayed in the past... Food, as usual, give us the tastiest of both worlds on another quiet winner that lives up to the ECM name". The Observer selected it as one of the 10 Best Jazz albums of 2015 noting "these guys not only have an advanced creative aptitude in the slipstream between laptop technology and acoustic instrumentation, but an uncanny sense of groove to boot". In JazzTimes, Steve Greenlee wrote "This Is Not a Miracle is dreamy, effervescent and constantly shiftingwaves bobbing on oceans, tree limbs swaying in breezes.
