Critical reception
Regina Star of iHeartRadio gave a positive review for the song stating, "Payne's record is far more somber, as the musician croons of wanting to save his broken relationship with his beloved."[6] Hollywood Life noted how different the track is compared to other Christmas songs remarking, "Finally, a song that captures the darker side of the holidays that 'Jingle Bells' can't quite accomplish."[7]
