Fashion designer Donatella Versace and friend of Carey 's told '' Vogue '' that " Meteorite " is " upbeat " and " has the power to lift your mood " . Jim Farber of '' New York Daily News '' complimented the track , writing that the disco beat and the Warhol quote was reminiscent of Studio 54 . John Sargent for Pitchfork Media was less impressed with the song , simply commenting that the song " is a gloopy scoop of Cher schmaltz " . AXS writer John Shetler was critical of " Meteorite " and included it on his four worst songs list from the album , writing Meteorite ' gets bonus points for opening with an Andy Warhol quote , but that ’s not enough to save the non-descript dance track with a grating , repetitive chorus and unimaginative lyrics about shooting stars and burning up the night sky . " Carey opened the 2014 World Music Awards with " Meteorite " in May 2014 . In addition to performing , she was attending the event to collect a Pop Icon award for having sold 200 million records worldwide and for having the most number one songs for a solo artist in the United States .

Both '' Rap-Up '' and '' Vibe '' described the performance as " dazzling " , with the former writing that " Carey lit up the stage " . The show was due to air on NBC and was later cancelled by the network , though the ceremony later aired on August 3 through 4Music . " Meteorite " was included on Carey 's 2014 tour , The Elusive Chanteuse Show
