Digital Spy’s Lewis Corner awarded the song four stars out of five, adding:

(The lines) 'Cause after a time you did Realized it is not easy /' Cause after a time you did Realized you should've Believed in me "she tells her fleeting anger over a bad relationship and the forgiveness of his Neglect. Ferguson's smoky tones are tinged with pain, but endowed with renewed defiance and charting tempo in their obsession; it burns brighter than ever before. "
