Stereogum’s Chris DeVille called ‘Mad at Disney’ ‘a heck of a pop tune,’ writing that it ‘manages to sound exactly like every other new pop song on the radio while also sticking out from the pack.’ ‘A skipping, four-on-the-floor pop rocket,’ according to Rolling Stone’s Elias Leight. Mollie King, a singer-songwriter for Marie Claire, praised the song as ‘delicate yet extremely topical,’ describing the lyrics as “thought-provoking,’ and comparing Ilese to Julia Michaels in an article.
