Reception
If I Could Reach You was nominated for the 2017 Next Manga Award in the print manga category. In Anime News Network's Fall 2019 Manga Guide, Rebecca Silverman gave the first volume 3 out of 5 stars. Silverman praises tMnR for avoiding making the story unrelentingly depressing and melodramatic by showing that Uta's has already accepted her love will go unrequited. Faye Hopper went on to give the first volume 4 out of 5 stars, noting that "it deals with complicated, difficult issues with a sensitivity and grace you rarely see, and does so, surprisingly, while being light and pleasant." Anime UK News gave the first volume 8/10, praising the maturely and respect paid to the depiction of Uta's feelings. The series has featured on BookWalker's top-selling manga ranking for 2020.
