Reception
editRolling Stone commented on how the track differed from her previous singles: "Kim Petras veers into moody trap-pop with her new song “All I Do Is Cry.” The singer-songwriter vents about heartbreak throughout the track, which — in contrast to her other, more club-friendly singles — recalls the emo-rap vibe of Juice WRLD".[1] Reviewing it for Interview Magazine, Ernest Macias suggested the song "takes her music to a sad, almost emo direction, laced with trap beats and lyrics bemoaning a broken heart."[3] For Nick Levine in NME, the song "shows her vulnerable side."[4] Writing for The Guardian, Aimee Cliff described the song as "deliciously tragic",[5] while Stephen Daw of Billboard called it "heartbreaking-and-catchy."[6]
