Critical reception



"Kimi ni Much" was well received by music critics. Music critic Koremasa Uno pointed out the similarities between "Kimi ni Much" and Utada's 2008 track "Stay Gold" in the prelude and chord progression. Nanami Ikusa of 'Numero Tokyo' praised the track's production and said "this is a sound that can only be produced by Hikaru Utada among Japanese artists today." Reio Fujii on an InterFM radio program said: "When I first listened to it, I really enjoyed listening to the simplicity of the arrangement. I'm attracted to it. Because it's simple, her singing voice resonates very much.
