Reception

The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics, in contrast to the reviews of her debut album. In her review of the album Standing Tall, BBC Music's Ruth Mitchell wrote "Opener "Cry" isn't a fantastic start. The acoustic guitar introduction has been used to death...and the melody, although pleasant, packs no punches and holds no surprises. Yahoo! Music called it a "homage to Natalie Imbruglia's Torn" and "it's this track that sets the breezy-mostly-written-by-Norwegians guitar pop template on which the rest of the album follows." The Guardian's Betty Clarke called the song "a catchy, chick-lit ode to wrong-doing".
