Elias Leight of Rolling Stone deemed the song "a meeting of maximalists" with "Lovato singing with her usual boisterous enthusiasm" and Khaled "offering a series of self-help maxims".[11] Aaron Williams of Uproxx regarded the song as "a full-on display of Demi Lovato's vocal chops".[12] Devin Ch of HotNewHipHop opined that the song "mostly caters to urban-pop playlists", writing that its message is "accessible on all fronts".[13]
