Critical reception

"Run Away With Me" received critical acclaim from music critics:

  • Paper magazine hailed the song as "just as much the pop perfection that is 'I Really Like You'" and "the perfect anthemic summer jam".[7]
  • USA Today welcomed "Run Away with Me" as "a marked improvement over ['I Really Like You']".[8]
  • Time magazine wrote of the track, "'Run Away With Me' marries euphoric Swedish dance-pop with a pressing nostalgia for your teenage years, a time when the littlest crushes felt like time bombs and a time Jepsen is really, really, really skilled at evoking. In that sense, it’s 'Teenage Dream 2.0', right down to a bridge so catchy she has to repeat it twice".[9]
