Critical reception

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]
