Reception
Michael Major from Broadway World said "Uniting soulful sounds with signature stabs of euphoric piano chords, MK and Burns bring their classic melodic sensibilities to the track, amplified by a kicking bassline. Teddy Swims lends his viral vocal chops to the tune to create an energy that celebrates the house and soul roots of MK's native Detroit, with lyrics that spread a hopeful message of a brighter future ahead."[2]
Brian Bonavoglia from DJ Life Mag called it a "feel-good dance anthem" saying, "'Better' comes equipped with bouncy piano keys, silky smooth vocals and a pulsating house beat making for an undeniable club-ready weapon with pop sensibilities."[1]
