This sentiment was shared by Billboard editor John Lannert who called it one of the album's "well-crafted tracks". Parry Gettelman praised the performance of both the bassist and the pianist in the track. On the former, she noted that Ruben Rodriguez "provides a graceful bass line that subtly builds tension released in the soaring chorus".
