Dylan Tuck of The Skinny described the song as a modern rap-rock anthem. Paul Travers of Kerrang! wrote that the song begins with an ambient opening and features an "utterly inescapable hook". Nik Young of Metal Hammer wrote that the song has a "Tron‑worthy, electronic opening" and described it as one of the album's stickiest tracks. Erin Winans of MXDWN wrote that the song moves between vocals of different styles and that it is more similar in style to the band's earlier material. Billboard wrote that trust is a recurring theme on the album and that "The Ending" deals with the subject in a familial context. == Track listing ==
