Critical reception edit

Mariel Concepcion of Billboard Magazine says "Chrisette pours her silky vocals atop hollow drums and slinky piano strokes on the breakup song "Blame It on Me."[1]

The Koalition comments on how "Blame It on Me" showcases Ms. Michele and arguably her best vocal performance on the album as she takes the blame and responsibility for a failed relationship even though the two tried their hardest to make it work.[2]
