[1] Sagun Shrestha of The Georgetown Voice remarked, "On first listen, 'Out Of My System' is repetitive and far too generic for the likes of Tomlinson," however added, "Tomlinson leans towards a stronger sound [...] with heavy guitar riffs that fade into drums as he begins to sing." Ending off the review, she stated, "It's a track made to yell, to hype up, and to exert frustrations; and it's catchy enough to get stuck in your head all day." [2] Adrianne Reece of Elite Daily described the track as "an angsty mantra about self-realization and seeking one's life purpose." [9]
