Critical reception

[edit]

Ross McNeilage of MTV News called it "a classic Pink-fighting-for-love song" and "a gorgeous acoustic midtempo built with stunning harmonies that elevate the song to something much bigger than its laidback production".[7] Madeline Roth of the same publication added that it is an "uplifting power ballad".[8] Anna Gaca of Spin deemed the song "a middle-of-the-road ballad about holding out in a relationship that feels like a sinking ship".[9] Elias Leight of Rolling Stone regarded the song as "a celebration of romantic resilience", and felt "strings swell grandly and ringing guitars signal renewed commitment".[10] Mike Nied of Idolator described the song as "more of the punchy determination that we have come to expect from her music and is shaping up to be a nice addition to her discography".[11]
