the song also faced mixed and negative reviews. after "not afraid" leaked onto the internet on april 29, 2010, simon vozick-levinson of "entertainment weekly" magazine commented on the song, noting both positive and negative characteristics; he first complimented eminem's change of lyrical theme, calling it anthemic in nature and noting its inspirational and powerful message. he compared the song's theme to eminem's 2002 single "sing for the moment" and his 2009 single, "beautiful". vozick-levinson called eminem's rapping "wild" but was dismissive of the production, saying, "the track behind 'not afraid' has the same tinny, repetitive, wannabe-epic quality that's annoyed me on boi-1da productions like 'forever.'" mayer nissem of british site digital spy gave the song three stars out of a possible five, and wrote a mixed review; the reviewer first commented, "thank heavens! – marshall mathers iii has opted against his usual trick of cobbling together a hook and some 'satire' via two-year-old back issues of the inquirer to trail it." however, nissem criticized other aspects of the song, saying that eminem's "decision to chronicle ... feels a little worthy and more than a touch dull." he felt that eminem's previous songs never bored the listener, unlike "not afraid". jeff weiss of the "los angeles times" commented that "not afraid" was an improvement from the lead singles of "encore" (2004) and "relapse", "just lose it" and "we made you", respectively, giving for a more serious and inspirational theme. however, weiss misses the comic nature of eminem's classic singles, such as "my name is"; instead, he felt that the song was composed of "vague self-help bromides and a bombastic but nondescript beat from ... boi-1da." when discussing the chorus, weiss commented that it "doesn’t make for very engaging listening." finally, he discussed possible influences by american rapper t.i., but overall, he named it a disappointing lead single.
