Music said: "Just when you think she's about to grind to an insipid halt, she snaps out of it with good old fashioned pop rants against the male species ('Why'd You Lie To Me')." [1] Jose Promis from Allmusic compared it to a "Destiny's Child-sounding". [2]

Music video

Directed by Mike Lipscombe and produced by Michael J. Pierce, the music video for "Why'd You Lie to Me" was shot at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles on July 6–7, 2002. It was later included on Anastacia's first music DVD, The Video Collection . The video is notable for being the first to show the singer without her trademark glasses.
