"Silver Tongues" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Carl Smith of Official Charts Company stated, "Louis' vocals atop a sparse piano melody, not too far removed from that of Walls album track 'Fearless'. Delivering a vocal drenched in confidence, the unlikely subject of the song soon becomes apparent." He also praised Tomlinson's change in sound and his abstract songwriting. [5] Finlay Holden of ReadDork.com described the song as "a joyful reflection of the past, bursting with hope and optimism, and a soaring chorus." [6] Jen Southern of The Honey Pop remarked, "'Silver Tongues' feels absolutely packed full of nostalgia, both lyrically and sonically. Musically, it is new but so utterly timeless." [7]
The music video for "Silver Tongues" premiered on 13 November 2022, via VEVO and was directed by Charlie Sarsfield. [8]
