"Outside of Love" was met with positive reviews by music critics. Dom Vigil of Prelude Press praised the track stating that the song: "sees Becky at her best: dancefloor-igniting electronica inspired by her underground roots, infused with an arena-filling infectiousness". Emma Wilkes of NME dubbed the song as a "big, anthemic" track. Likewise, Liam Cattermole of Notion also described the track as "anthemic" and praised Hill's "powerhouse vocals".Personnel
