said the song has "that now-classic Amy Shark sound. Her vocals are strong and impactful, while the lyrics are personal and the images they present, vivid." Fuamoli continued saying, "The arrangement of the track, from the clear and crisp Dann Hume-helmed production, through to Barker's tight percussion, fleshes out the drama of the song without overshadowing Amy's vocal delivery." ''Women in Pop'' said "'C'Mon' is a searingly honest, raw and moving track which explores the highs and lows of being a professional musicians with Shark reaching out for help and forgiveness." They said "Sonically, the song is a swaying, indie pop anthem that starts off with a gentle piano line before Barker's drums kick in and the song builds into a more dramatic track, with Shark's impassioned vocals soar fully encapsulating the emotion of feeling lost and alone in the lyrics." Alexander Pan from ''Tone Deaf'' called the song "an absolute ripper". Alex Gallagher from '' Music Feeds'' called the song "a stunning, slow-burning pop gem" adding "it's also a truly stellar vocal performance from Shark, whose voice soars on the track, featuring some of her most vulnerable and personal songwriting to date."
