Critical reception

Laurence Day of The Line of Best Fit wrote that "Cold Hard Truth" is a powerful, fist-pumping preview of Furtado's exciting new release - it's stuffed with punchy beats and propelled by a rock-solid bassline, with boisterous pop melodies ready to get stuck in your brain for days."[7] Joey Nolfi of Entertainment Weekly called the song "a funky, upbeat toe-tapper complete with cowbell and wobbly synths".[4] Craig Jenkins of Vulture observed, "The withering electro-funk opener "Cold Hard Truth" surges with confidence after a breakup, but the newfound independence in the chorus... gives off a sense that it's her own preferred methods of making and selling music getting the boot, not some smarmy beau."[1]
