hat in 2018.|Critical response to the vocals was often focused around those of West. The song was met with polarized reviews from
music critics, who expressed mixed opinions mostly of the vocals. In a highly positive review, Matthew Progress of
NOW Magazine viewed the content of it as being among "some of the most captivating melodies ever found on a West project" and said that the song continues the album's "vein of
R&B-leaning, wavy
church ballads" that begins with the vocals on "Everything We Need". Aaron McKrell from
HipHopDX noted the song for seeing West "praying for blessings", linking it to West's "passion for and love for
God". For
NME, Jordan Bassett named the song as the second best track on
Jesus Is King, praising "the sense of community in the backing vocals", as well as the
optimism shown within the lyrics, and "the unshowy production".
NPR's Oliver Wang questioned the possibility of it being the best track, complementing "the crooning of Ant Clemons" and the Sunday Service Choir's vocals, though Wang concluded by writing that the song "sounds like a glorious, end-of-night
dance track, just without drums". In a mixed review,
Pastes Steven Edelstone noted that the song is still "at least allowed the space to explore a few ideas" despite being short in length, while citing it as one of the album's highlights but criticizing the production. Rawiya Kameir of
Pitchfork complained that the "raspy pleading" of West on the song "recalls the era of loosies", which he cited as including West releasing the singles "
Only One" (2014) and "
FourFiveSeconds" (2015). In
Rolling Stone, Brendan Klinkenberg described West's singing that makes it "clear how urgent this album is for him" as being undercut by his meandering on the song. For
RapReviews, Ryan Feyre criticized West's "under-baked verse" and called him annoying. Wren Graves from
Consequence expressed heavily negative feelings, stating that the song "is more bland than its namesake". ==Commercial performance==
