Critical receptionedit
"Gold (Stupid Love)" was well received by most critics. Kierstin Rounsefell of EDM.com noted the two artists sound featured in the song, describing Illenium's as dreamy and Excision's as comparably "heavier, dirty sound to life, complete with vocal chops."[7] Writing for Dancing Astronaut, Farrell Sweeney wrote that the song did not disappoint, and noted that Shallows' vocals "could fit into a pop track."[8]Billboard's Kat Bein called the song's hook a "beat-heavy stomper full of mechanical texture", writing that Illenium lent the "dreamy horizons of his latest sounds" and describing Excision's style as a promise of "crunching bass."[3] Charlie Vargas of EDMTunes noted the mix of Illenium's and Excision's styles, writing that the first drop consists of Illenium's known melodic dubstep style, with the following drop showcasing Excision's well-known style of heavy dubstep, both mixed with Shallow's lyrics that "draw you in with the relatable story of an unsure love and you get this incredible rendition of Shallow's track."[1]Noiseporn's Brea Bone praised the song, writing that the song "artfully combines the production skills of Excision and Illenium with the vocal talents of Shallows to create a unique collaboration that is sure to be a hit."[9] Writing for The Nocturnal Times, Ariana O'Keefe praised the song, calling it the "collaboration from heaven", writing that the song surpassed expectations and is "literally the definition of a banger."[10]
