Critical reception
"Girl like Me" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone wrote that Sullivan showcased her "acrobatic" vocals on the song.[4] Justin Curto of Vulture also complimented her vocals on the song and felt that the song was a "stronger indictment" than her 2008 single "Bust Your Windows" ever was.[5] Mankaprr Conteh of Pitchfork interpreted that Sullivan and Wilson "sing of the hos in Fashion Nova dresses who steal their love interests away from them".[6] A writer from BET identified it as a standout track on the album.[7] Cahleb Derry of CED Radio named the song the best song of 2021, citing it as the album's "most personal and perhaps controversial" track that describes "the realization that the rulebook that men wrote should not and cannot be followed because the rules are rooted in misogyny and controlling woman anyway."[8] Chris Deville of Stereogum called it a "minimal" acoustic ballad "that gives both vocalists plenty of space to show off".[3]
