"Hero" was described as an "inspiring summer song" and "a crossover between pop and EDM". [5] American web site EDM.com said that the song clearly refers back to the sound of the early 2010s which since then had eroded a bit,but that "(...)after a brutal year devoid of live music thanks to the fury of COVID-19,many ravers have found themselves nostalgic,desperately clinging to memories of simpler times in the throes of solitude. Afrojack hopes "Hero" can serve as a time machine." [1]
