Musical style and reception
Tower Records called it a "powerful song" and commented that the band's ability was already there before joining Ki/oon Music. Digital music magazine CD Journal opined that the "melancholic melody" (a term also used by Tower Records) stands out in the fast-paced sound, and praised the group's songwriting ability, vocals and guitars. Thematically, the magazine described "2°C Me no Kanojo" as a danceable, winter-themed love song. They elaborated: "[...] About pledging eternal love to an old lover who happens to meet you again."

Speaking about the B-side "Nakidashita Onna to Kyomu-kan", CD Journal said that it is a well-developed jazzy track that utilizes glockenspiel, and is also a song about love.

Commercial performance
The single peaked at number three on Oricon Singles Chart and remained on chart for twelve weeks. On Tower Records' Japanese Rock and Pop Singles chart, it peaked at number two.

It sold 48,213 physical copies while on the Oricon charts, becoming the band's eighth best-selling single. It was certified gold disc by RIAJ for selling over 100,000 digital downloads.
