Kat Bein of Billboard felt that the track was "perfectly suited for Khalid's soulful range",who gave listeners his "alto richness and falsetto tenderness over the slow burn beat Garrix cooked". [18] Matthew Meadow from Your EDM described "Ocean" as "the most mellow of any Garrix song we've heard thus far" which "plays more to Khalid's style than it does to his own",thus missing out on most of Garrix's signature musical style. [19] Dancing Astronaut's Chris Stack wrote that the pair delivered a "laid back pop track blending electronic tropes with elements of rock and R&B into a soothing soundscape polished by calming harmonies",while noting the successful continuation of Khalid's "foray into EDM".
