Critical reception

Alim Kheraj of DIY Magazine said that "its baby−cry production, is dripping with self−deprecation."[2] Danny Madion of The Michigan Daily wrote that the song "walks listeners through a narrative of falling in love with an ex-lover. It’s sad and earnest but doesn’t lead to a notable chorus you’d sing in the car."[3] Sorcha Hornett of Redbrick compared the song to "Issues" by Julia Michaels.[4] Alex Clarke of The Observer described "Cycles" and "Stranger" as "honest depictions of love that are nothing in the way of cliche."[5]
