"Keeping with [Rexha's] usual style, the set features plenty of big bass, dance-friendly anthems that pepper electronic, '90s club bounce, hardened hip-hop, and even a little pop-punk energy into the mix. Although the bulk of Better Mistakes sounds party-appropriate, the depressing lyrics hint at a world of hurt for the artist, laid bare on the introspective, Sia-esque "Sabotage" ... There's enough here to warrant a listen, even if the pacing and track arrangement could use some help. The self-deprecation and confessional spirit of Better Mistakes make it an immensely relatable and honest point of view from a pop star, which longtime fans should appreciate".
