following the release of "like a prayer" on march 3, 1989, it received widespread acclaim from critics, journalists and academics. taraborrelli commented that the track "deserved every bit of the curiosity it generated. while being devilishly danceable, the song also shows madonna's uncanny ability to inspire strong, conflicting emotions during the course of a single song, leaving the listener scratching his head for answers—and craving for more." stephen holden from "the new york times", while writing about madonna's re-invention of her image, observed how her sound had changed from the "simple blaring dance-pop to the rich, fully rounded pop of 'like a prayer". lucy o'brien felt that the most remarkable aspect of "like a prayer" was madonna's usage of liturgical words. "there is the surface meaning, forging sexuality with pop lyrics that sound so sweet. but underlying that is a rigorous mediation on prayer. in shorter words, 'like a prayer' really takes you there," she concluded. this view was shared by mary cross, who wrote in her biography of madonna that "the song is a mix of the sacred and the profane. there-in lies madonna's triumph with 'like a prayer'. it still sounds catchy and danceable."
