Music critics were generally positive towards the dance nature of "Nirvana", and predicted its commercial success, although some felt it was inferior to her previous work.

An accompanying music video was uploaded onto Inna's official YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release to positive response from reviewers.

[7][8] Pure Charts's Julien Goncalves thought that Inna "continues to surf on the craze of the Latin culture [...] on a sensual and feverish tempo",[5] while Valentin Malfroy of French website Aficia noticed a similar production to its predecessor.

[2] The visual opens with Inna walking through a hallway full of background dancers, sporting an outfit similar to the one wore in her previous music video for "Ruleta", consisting of animal print-designed shorts and overcoat with black boots.

Nearly all scenes make use of neon lighting, with cut shots showing her dancers performing choreography,[7] and the singer singing to the song against multiple backdrops.

Direct Lyrics's Apaza wrote: "The music video [...] [is] filled with light effects, dancing, and beauty shots from Inna, and all of this is exactly what a song like 'Nirvana' needed, and not anything else.

"[2] Son Güncelleme of Turkish newspaper Vatan found that the clip "stands out with its special costumes and make-up [...]",[14] while Aficia's Malfroy compared it to Inna's visual for "In Your Eyes" (2013).

"[7] Watt of All-Noise found the clip enjoyable, although calling it imperfect, and noticing that "Inna didn't put a lot of heart or money in the music video.

"[11] Inna performed the song live on the seventh season of Romanian reality singing competition Vocea României on 8 December 2017, along with "Ruleta".

"[17] Inna was also scheduled to sing the song for native radio station Pro FM, but her performance was cancelled due to her cold.
