A writer for "The Boston Globe" called the song a "lone glimmer in the gloom" with "incongruously downtrodden groove", adding that fans of Evanescence would like the song. Blabbermouth.nets Don Kaye found the song to be a "melancholy ballad". Richard Harrington of "The Washington Post" found some quiet moments on "The Open Door" most notably on the "haunting ballad 'Good Enough'" and on "Like You". Writing for the magazine "St. Louis Post-Dispatch", Sara Berry concluded that the band balanced the "scorching rock anthems" with "reflective, piano-heavy ballads" like "Lithium" and "Good Enough". She further found an "intimate-sounding setting" which featured just Lee and her piano. "The Providence Journal"s Rick Massimo, wrote that the song is "being rather melodramatic but melodically successful". Chris Harris of "Rolling Stone" wrote that Lee is "stroking the ivories and delivering her lyrics with an elegant sweetness" which he found reminiscent of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. A writer for Reuters called the song "as intense and affecting as anything before it -- and this time, Amy Lee's lyric steps from the dark side, reveling in the relief of positivity."
