 Crystal Bell of Billboard gave the song a generally positive review stating "much as he did on his debut single," One Time, "Bieber makes a strong case for why he's the next pop heartthrob.' I 'm gonna put you first, I'll show you what you 're worth / If you let me inside your world,' he sings. The stump speech is hard to resist, especially when set to an arrangement that follows the lineage of hit midtempo ballads" With You ", and" Irreplaceable ". Although the lyrics are generic, Bieber's smooth delivery is right on point, and his tender vocals blend well with the song's easy-flowing beat." Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called the song along with "Down to Earth", "uncomplicatedly beautiful and earnest." Andy Kellman of Allmusic listed the song as one of his recommended tracks from the album.
