Reception ActiveAnime's Holly Ellingwood describes the story as being "about falling in love, running away, and facing your feelings, this is a little gem of a romance." Shaenon Garrity, writing for the appendix to ''Manga: The Complete Guide'', enjoyed the "sex-positive manga", noting that there was little angst. Mania Entertainment's Danielle Van Gorder described Minami's art as "first-rate", enjoying its "sharp, assured lines, minimal shading, and plenty of detail". Johanna Draper Carlson regards ''My Paranoid Next Door Neighbor'' as being "all about the sex", noting the similarities in the storyline to a romance novel where a lower-status female is pursued by a higher-status man.

An anonymous Publishers Weekly reviewer also noted the similarities to a romance novel, and criticized the youthful appearance of the character designs. The Publishers Weekly reviewer described the manga as having a "saturated atmosphere"..."satisfying the dedicated genre fan".
