Rajiv Vijayakar ofBollywood Hungama, calling it "a killer of a song", described Singh's rendition in the song as "transparent soulfulness". He further mentioned; "The lyrics move from eulogy of the beloved to acceptance and laterangst. The composition seems to have wandered in straight from aMukesh Bhatt-Mahesh Bhatt film in its haunting intensity.[12]
