The Rooster called the song, "a blatant disregard for the proverbial haters in each of the musician's lives and follows a dark and heavy tone through Worsnop's blistering vocals." Music Junkie Press praised the intro for its engaging opening as well as Worsnop's vocal performance. They also stated, "It is a hard driving song to get you pumped up and takes you on a vocal journey." Tim Sendra of AllMusic called it a "very clichéd power emo" track. Live performances
