"Count On Me" has been labelled as a folk by reviewer Pete Rivas from The AU Review and as tropical song by critic Bill Lamb from ThoughtCo (former About.com). [4] [5] The Scotsman found it to be influenced by reggae. [6] It features a laid back groove and tropical vibes, resembling Mars's "Hawaiian background." [7] [5] An acoustic guitar and "beach-bound bongos" are part of its instrumentation. [4] [8] According to the sheet music, the song is composed in the key of C major with a time signature in common time, and a moderate groove of 88 beats per minute. [9]

AllMusic's Tim Sendra called the song a "bittersweet ballad", while Katie Hasty from HitFix classified it as a "sandy-sweet tune". [10] [8] It draws inspiration from the works of Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson and David Cook. [6] [11] MTV UK Joanne Dorken and Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine said the recording's sound was "reminiscent" of "Over The Rainbow" (1993) by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole. [12] [13] It conveys the message of comfort found in a friend and being present for those who are important in your life. [5]

Critical reception

"Count On Me" received generally positive reviews from most music critics. Rivas gave the song a 7 out of 10 saying that it is an "uplifting and chilled sounds" and that it "hits all the right spots". Rivas found the lyrics to convey a "nice" and "positive" message, adding that the single "shows some similarities with his other singles but not to much detriment". [4] The Boston Globe critic Ken Capobianco exalted Mars's vocals on the recording as "one of his best" on the album. [14] While reviewing Mars's debut EP, It's Better If You Don't Understand, Bill Lamb of About.com stated that "there is a dreamy wistfulness here that is irresistible, regarding "Count On Me". He added, that the song is "perfect for summer days". [7] However, while reviewing the parent album, Sendra found that the song lacked deepness and that "it's not poetry". Nevertheless, Sendra did say that the track is "sweetly played and sung" and is able to "project a cuddly image and will melt hearts". [10]

On the other hand, Now 's Kevin Ritchie criticized the song for its "cutesy lyrics" and "insipid rhymes like "You can count on me like one, two, three". He added that the song doesn't contribute for the album cohesion, but add for a "no-brainer radio references to Coldplay, U2, Michael Jackson, Sade, Feist and so on". [15] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian concurred with the latter on the "saccharine sound" and explained that during the recording "you start to boggle that Britain's teens are being fed something so sugary without Jamie Oliver getting a campaign up about it".
