Bene Viera from VH1 praised Kim's performance, commenting "The pint-sized beauty’s performance proved one thing–not that anything needed proving–a legend is a legend. The Queen Bee’s return has arrived, and the fans haven’t gone anywhere. Bow down to the throne." while Ernest Hardy of the "Los Angeles Times" added "[...] the thing that really girds Kim’s voice and persona is a genuine sweetness that humanizes a steely persona."
