Reception
Rolling 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". 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." For Nick Levine in NME, the song "shows her vulnerable side." Writing for The Guardian, Aimee Cliff described the song as "deliciously tragic", while Stephen Daw of Billboard called it "heartbreaking-and-catchy."Credits and personnel
