Shiver was commercially successful in Australia. In early August 1989, it debuted at number fifteen on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.[2] It went to peak at number five on its fifteenth week and stayed there for two consecutive weeks. The album spent a total of forty-one weeks in the top fifty, and fifty-seven weeks in the top one-hundred.[3] The Australian Recording Industry Association awarded the album double platinum certification for shipping 140,000 copies[3] and became the thirtiest highest selling album in Australia for 1989.[4] It sold around 250,000 copies in Australia.[5]

Jonathan Lewis of AllMusic stated that although Shiver was not a huge leap from her previous album, it showed that she was maturing as a songwriter.[6] He ends the review stating "The most successful — and best — of Jenny Morris' albums."[6] The album also features Morris's cover version of "(Beggar on The) Street of Love" by Australian musician Paul Kelly.

In 2019, the album was re-released on vinyl and as a 30th Anniversary Edition.[7]
