Joe Rivers of No Ripcord gave the song a positive review, saying: "It makes you wonder why Dakota Prescott isn't all over commercial radio; it's a catchy, well-constructed pop song that manages to pack a lot in without conforming to the Guetta/Harris dance-pop template, instead injecting an effortless, swaggering cool."

In its list of the best songs of 2015, Pitchfork ranked "Hearts" at number 61, saying that it "could even make Tumblr’s weird pop elite attempt a shimmy." Marc Hogan of Spin Magazine said that the new single "wonderfully emphasizes the pure-pop joy and street-cool swagger that lurks behind the hypnotic shadows on tracks by Dakota".
