Critical reception

Entertainment Voice's Adi Mehta wrote that the song "reaches new emotional depths, with a vulnerable intimacy from Keys that sends chills", adding that Keys and Khalid sound "wide-eyed and dreamy" on the song.[4] Andy Kellman from AllMusic described it as "soft, intimate love ballad" on which "Keys and Khalid make an ideal pair".[5] Meg Bishop from Minnesota Daily wrote that "[l]istening to the track feels like an act of self-care" adding that "[t]he song fits perfectly into the tracklist" with "some smooth lo-fi beats" and "the repeated lyrics, “I’m living the way that I want.”.[6] Konstantinos Pappis from Our Culture Mag wrote that the song features “spare electric guitar and luminous vocals“ and that it “excel[s] at capturing an utterly entrancing mood” and “evokes a kind of listless, late-night vibe that somehow manages to amplify the album’s overall message of inner strength”. [7]
