Critical reception

Thomas Bedward of Broken 8 Magazine says, "'Please Don't Hate Me' leans into a more intimate vulnerability. It is a song that breathes with raw honesty, stripping back the layers to reveal the man behind the rising stardom."[2]

Robin Murray of Clash says, "A lush, folk-informed slice of songwriting, 'Please Don't Hate Me' allows the listener to find their own space in the music."[3] Hot Press says, "Like collapsing to your knees or seeing John Cusack with a boombox outside your window, 'Please Don’t Hate Me' is beautifully flawed and hopelessly apologetic."[4]
