Critical reception
Kyann-Sian Williams of NME considered "Baby" the "most polarising moment" on Finally Over It, because Chris Brown "is flat when doubling the chorus with Walker – wasting the sample of Mariah Carey's 'Always Be My Baby' – but the melody is so hypnotic, you'll sway and roll your shoulders in an unexpected Uno reverse moment that (kinda) works."[2] Rawiya Kameir of Pitchfork described the sample and interpolation of "Always Be My Baby" as "sullying the promise of an everlasting duet with a dispassionate performance from Chris Brown, who continues to patronize major-label releases with the enforced ubiquity of a mafia racket."[3]
