This is catchy, breezy, melodic Mariah--the one America loves. HolidayGuy (hello-he likes it) summed it up pretty well. It's definitely a wait-and-see. To say "The Art Of Letting Go" is better, or to expect something more meaningful, or to complain about it being too catchy, however, is suspicious.

Eh, it's pleasant enough, and I like the "I can't seem to give you up you're mine" melody, but it remains pretty tepid and flat for me throughout. It's definitely nowhere near as good as "Beautiful," and I think I prefer the uber-manipulated "Almost Home" to this, as well. But it's better than the other two dreadful songs she's released in the last year.

I think the background vocals seal the deal for me. This is just such an earworm and ended up being more pop friendly than I initially expected. As a fan, I am extremely happy.

I like it but as others said, it definitely could've benefited from being released soon after #Beautiful peaked. It still has a chance but things have to be done well. I just hope her label/team have everything planned out properly.

Mimi being the savvy bad bitch she be threw her pop fans a bone with all the hooks & melody galore its ear candy. She don't love y'all but she still got uses for you. Enjoy the scraps you get cause you may not get much more outside of lead singles.

It's not bad. I think I liked #Beautiful better on first listen, but I feel like it's going to grow on me. The remix with Trey Songz is definitely hotter.

Listened, don't hate it, don't love it, but I do like it and I actually think it's better than '#Beautiful' (catchier, even). It's not quite the Mariah throwback I expected the way people talked about the LQ performance (?), but that would've been a virtual impossibility.
I could see this doing what its predecessor did; maybe a little better, on pop. Urban is gonna go ham with this though.

Like #Beautiful more, but it's still pretty good, hopefully it will grow on me.

The video should do the trick. With actual promo lined up and another video on the way, she may actually stay in the Top 10 this time.

The "I can't seem to live without your love" parts are incredible. Not a fan of the rest of the song, though. It might be a grower.

This is not as good as "#Beautiful", though it's easily better than "The Art of Letting Go".

I'm loving this. The intro is gorgeous, and the song's hooks just flow so nicely. It's not quite as nice as "#Beautiful," but it's one of Mariah's best post-2005 singles, for sure.

I have been off the Mariah bandwagon for the past couple of albums, but this song is very pretty and has a nice groove. I like it.
Btw, download the MTV Artist App...you can watch videos from pretty much any artist, plus buy their music from iTunes within the app. Mariah's new video is in there already. (blatant plug for where I work)

For a typical "look how hot I am" Mariah video, this is one of the better ones. Actually really liked it. I love the song too.

Coco is reporting that everything is perfect so far and surprisingly I don't hate the video usually that's my OH NO! Moment. I like how they cobbled this back up together and kicked off the era in such a grand fashion. My Mimi has it all together again cause she pounding that pavement.
Now I'm no aspiring CNN reporter lmfao but I'm just here to bring my own flair to break the monotonous, repetitive and boring reports. I'll be checking in daily let's get festive up in this bitch and drown the rats down the drain. #2014revival #Mimiisback

This is very pleasant. I don't know if it will do much, but just thank god she didn't unleash another "Fart She Couldn't Control" on us.
