titled "My Favorite Mistake" after the song. Critical reception Larry Flick of Billboard wrote, "This first single from her imminent third album, "The Globe Sessions", isn't a radical departure, but it certainly displays a laudable degree of growth and an apparent desire to be taken seriously. "My Favorite Mistake" is devoid of quirks and gimmicks. It's a simple rock song with smart, heartfelt lyrics. The overall tone of the song feels far more personal this time, and perhaps that's what has inspired such a restrained, almost introverted vocal, as well as an appealing but low-key arrangement. And while that would normally spell commercial death for a record, it will actually serve this one well. Quite frankly, Crow is just too intriguing here to toss this single off after one listen. She inspires you to go back and listen again and again—and the reward is finding something new and interesting about the track each time." Music video The music video for the song features Crow in a room with spotlights, playing bass guitar and making all kinds of movements, wearing two identical outfits composed of a sleeveless top and leather pants, and each of a different colour, black and red.
