Critical reception

edit

Luke O'Neil of the Boston Globe wrote "It’s a pulse-quickening electro-disco cut with gritty, heartfelt soul falling out of its tight pants pockets."[3] Johnathan Keefe of Slant said "You’ve Changed" was originally recorded as a shrill, tinny dance track, but Kurstin reworks it here to include a funk-based rhythm section that gives the song a more propulsive 4/4 beat and a greater depth of texture."[4] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly called the song "squiggly disco".[5]
