 " Send It On " received average critical reviews . Bill Lamb of About.com stated : " The song may sound a bit tedious . It 's not likely to be much more enduring than the typical American Idol winner 's finale song . However , the purchase of this song is for a very good cause . " Gina Sepre and Whitney English of E ! said that the song was Disney 's take on " We are the World " by a super @-@ group billed as USA for Africa , a group which included successful acts such as Michael Jackson and Diana Ross . Leo Hickman of The Guardian criticized the artists as hypocritical and the song 's lyrics as ineffective , noting that " there are no references at all to the environment to be found within the song , " as opposed to Cyrus 's song " Wake Up America " from her second album which he mentioned was more influential .
