those were the days
"one of those days" received generally positive reviews from music critics. sean daly of "the washington post" commented that the song was "likably bouncy". craig seymour of "the atlanta journal-constitution" called the song a "breezy girls'-night-out" cut. writer for "blues & soul" wrote that the song "is an excellent slice of soulful mid-beat head nod r&b". they also commended the sampling of "between the sheets", noting that it is "effective". ernest hardy of "la weekly" had different opinions of the song. although he deemed it an "underrated single" at first and wrote that it "leaps beyond its work-sucks-the-rent's-late-i-need-a-date griping into the realm of existential letting", he later commented that the song is "grounded in retort". chuck taylor of "billboard" remarked that the song marks a "triumphant return of one of the great singers, who delivers the goods in glorious voice." he further commented that the production of the song would be able to convince her "pop fans", and also praised the isley brothers sampling. sal cinquemani of slant magazine commented that the song could have been titled "how whitney got her groove back". he noted that the "smooth" track allows houston to offer a restrained delivery of her vocals. keysha davis of bbc music called the sampling of "between the sheets" as "clever". nakesa mumbi moody, of the associated press, wrote it was "sexy" and "dreamy". writing for "the boston globe", joan anderman called it a "breezy" track with a "disturbingly trite" theme. the german newspaper "der tagesspiegel", in their review for "one of those days" called the song "schmaltzy" and wrote that it could have been done in the 1980s. jimmy draper of "san francisco bay guardian" noted that "the song seems so anticlimactic in comparison to the real-life pot". jon caramanica of "rolling stone" called the track "creaky and unconvincing". "entertainment weekly" gave the remix single a d rating and commented negatively that "this chaotic mess isn't likely to find an enthusiastic audience" as the producer "laid a random nelly verse and some whistle beats on top of houston's vocals. it's as if someone opened the door between two rooms and cranked warring stereos". following houston's death in 2012, "entertainment weekly" published a list of houston's 25 best songs and ranked "one of those days" at number 19; they noted that it was "an underrated single off an underrated album". they further commented that "whitney gave women of the world an instruction manual for pampering themselves in the sex and the city era".
