 Greenwald called the track “one of his finest, hook-laden rockers” and “one of the great pop moments of the 1990s.”

After the tracks “Miracle Medicine” and “Hectified”, the album continues with the song “Don’t Show Me Heaven” that has been described as using “a comfortable, mid-tempo, power pop melodic base” and “an almost tribal, psychedelic rhythm and series of hooks” to create “an ominous atmosphere that is inescapable.” The song utilizes “ambient sounds, some classical piano flourishes, and an almost Pete Townshend-inspired chord progression” which creates what has been described as “a monolith of sound”.The song's lyrical composition has been interpreted to be about love, with flourishes of mortality and reincarnation.The song “Before My Heart Attacks” has been described as a mix between “pop, folk, and classical”.
