Clayton Purdom from The A.V. Club called it "her first good single in forever", stating that the song "clears the low bar set by its two predecessors (' Look What You Made Me Do' and'...Ready for It?')" and stands easily alongside the best work on 1989 . Entertainment Weekly's Eric Renner Brown gave it a B+, citing that "she's back on top" with "Gorgeous". Richard S. He of Billboard said the song's verses are "Swift at her pettiest", realizing she was playing a character and has "never been wittier". Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic called it "on the surface the most 1989 - like of the three Reputation songs so far" and stating that "the song is very catchy and refreshingly straightforward". In a mixed review, Frank Guan of Vulture stated that the song "isn't terrible", but it is "yet another song from Reputation that doesn't live up to its title". </P>
