Rosie Long Decter of Billboard Canada described "Quitter" as "anthemic folk track in the mould of Noah Kahan",noting a "a kick-clap beat" and Whitcomb's "growling vocal". [5] Alli Patton of Holler favourably spoke of the song,noting "sharp strums and a shuddering kick drum",as well as "a torrent of rhythm and steel. She described this as "an exciting and triumphant arrangement" which "feeds its message of recovery and resilience". [6]
