laut.de editor Philipp Kause found that Im Augenblick was clinging to worn-out dance-pop formulas and simplistic slogans like "only love counts," casting doubt on its claim to be a "very personal album," especially given its reliance on a recycled Haddaway hit. He acknowledged that tracks such as "Te Amo Mi Amor," "Verliebt," and "Zoom" delivered catchy, radio-ready energy and occasional fresh genre touches. Nevertheless, he argued that persistent vocal flaws with metallic high notes, strained vowels, and overdramatic phrasing ultimately undermined an otherwise solid, if conventional, pop record.[4]Kronen Zeitung critic Robert Fröwein observed that Lombardi built the album on a schlager foundation, while allowing contemporary pop elements to dominate its overall sound. He noted that whereas others singer such as Vanessa Mai often leans toward disco influences, Sarah felt more comfortable exploring the ballad-driven side of Im Augenblick. In his view, the album offered ideal material for its target audience, although the Haddaway-inspired track "Love Is Love" seemed somewhat excessive.[3]
Im Augenblick opened and peaked at number eight on the German Albums Chart.[6] It marked Lombardi's first album since 2011's Heartbeat to reach the top ten and remained on the chart for four weeks.[6] In Austria, the album reached number 16 on the Austrian Albums Chart, also marking her highest-charting project there since her debut.[7] In Switzerland, Im Augenblick peaked at number 24 on the Swiss Albums Chart before dropping off in its second week, making it her lowest-charting solo release to date.[8]
