In a press release, a Warner Music Argentina collaborator described the album as "ten new songs to dance to, fall in love with, miss, get excited about, all that range of sensations to which Miranda has accustomed his audience." He also highlighted the track "Miro la vida pasar", featuring Fangoria, and the composition by Alaska, Nacho Canut, Mario Canut, Fernando Delgado and Pablo Sycet. Nicolás Miguelez for Zona de Obras said that Safari is an "instant classic", with a sound that is "purely pop, almost a tribute to the 80s and its culture of exaggeration." He also praised the "gripping and provocative" lyrics and vocals.
In a mixed review, Lorenzo Conchas for Bandwagon wrote that Safari is "a good album and nothing more", and that it "doesn't give the drama that is needed". Pablo Plotkin for La Nación, praised "the quality of Alejandro Sergi as a songwriter, and the exceptional level of him and Juliana Gattas as singers", and the "guitar and voice melodies".
