Critical review

Maria Clinton from EDM Identity declares the song "Sounds super depressing but this is what I love most about a great vocal anthem. It gets people feeling something. Good or bad. It doesn’t matter. Magic begins to sweep across the dance floor when the sound of Justine Suissa’s voice floats effortlessly through the airwaves."

Chase Masterson version

American actress and singer Chase Masterson performed a cover of "Burned With Desire" for an early cut of the motion picture Yesterday Was a Lie, but the song was not included in the commercial release of the film. Masterson's recording was released as a single on 17 October 2012.

Critical review

Rory L. Aronsky of Film Threat praised the recording, saying it "propels Masterson's voice from sultry chanteuse to haunting spirit. Besides her voice, Masterson is also blessed with lyrics that actually mean something, about human desire and how sometimes it can be painfully unreciprocated. It's a song with endless repeat value."
