Benjamin also wrote "The R&B track ends with a monologue: "God, if I had Your eyes... / I'd be more patient / God, help me to see things the way You see things / Did I already say help me be patient? / I'll say it again" and noted that it "sounds like a modern take on her first solo records, the gospel albums "Heart to Yours" and "Do You Know"." According to Christine Thomasos of "The Christian Post" "Williams sings about two situations where things are not what they seem. The first verse speaks about her helping a person asking for spare change in a life changing moment, while the second verse highlights the life of a woman whose life seems perfect despite the fact that she is going through personal issues." Brad Stern of MTV Buzzworthy, praised the arrangement and Williams' vocal performance, writing that the "track slowly staggers on in the background and puts one thing at the forefront: Miss Michelle's vocals. As we like to say in the industry, she's really sangin'! Runs for days!" Sam Lansky of Idolator described the song as "a jazzy, soul-inflected throwback that wouldn’t have sounded out of place on Jazmine Sullivan‘s debut album; the hook soars, and Williams’ high, distinct voice fits the melody nicely." Michelle Ryan of "Dropout UK" also commented on Williams' vocal performance and the lyrical content, writing 'Williams uses her talent to tell a story and ask important questions' on the 'powerful, thought provoking song with vocals that make you wonder why she wasn't used more in her girl band days'. Mike Wass of Idolator dubbed Williams " a child of destiny" for "preaching kindness, love and having faith in a higher power[...]through a song that wouldn’t sound out of place on urban radio". Wass also reviewed the remix featuring Fantasia Barrino positively, writing "the two god-fearing divas make an excellent duo, feeding off each other in the now even-more-inspiring mid-tempo ballad", noting "the best thing about Michelle and Fantasia joining forces is that they both possess such distinctive voices". Wass also expressed, "it’s great to hear someone playing off the Destiny’s Child diva’s gravelly vocal runs and their vocal tug-of-war in the chorus is spine-chilling". On July 1, a lyric video was released for the single, described as "suitably righteous" for the "gospel-tinged soul ballad" by Mike Wass of Idolator who also commented that "it’s a simple concept with a stylish, content-appropriate color scheme but the clip really excels when it emphasizes the song’s inspirational message".
