Critical reception

Ross Scarano from Complex praised Aaliyah's voice on the song saying "Aaliyah's voice did longing so well. The lightness of her touch when stretching out and fluttering the final syllable of a word like 'over' in 'Come Over' is too pretty". Scarano also felt that certain parts within the song such as the dying-cell-phone bit was amusing.[2]
