In 2017, Everett Brothers of "Billboard" ranked "Lead the Way" as the second most underappreciated song of Carey's discography, while "There for Me", a B-side track of "Never Too Far/Hero Medley" 2001 single, was picked as the third best song out this rate. Brothers argues that "Lead the Way" shows Carey's "strongest vocal performance of the 2000s." Rich Juzwiak of "Gawker" ranked "Loverboy" as the eighteenth best single of Carey's career. In 2014 article for "MySpace", Steven J. Horowitz praised a remix version of "Loverboy", which was included to "Glitter" tracklist: "Mariah invoked the ‘80s and relatively played the background to satiating verses from hot-right-nows and longtime friends.". He placed this version on the 11th place of Carey's all remixes rating, while Mark Graham of "VH1" ordered this remix as the thirtieth best song of her catalog.
