Cool song - Critical response
"Cool" received a generally positive response from music critics. LAUNCHcast's Jennifer Nine hailed the song as "a liltingly sweet paean to post-break-up friendships",[3] while All Music Guide wrote that the "high school anthem-in-waiting" exuded "sleek, new wave textures."[4] Richard Smirke commented that the song successfully used the same formula as its fellow album tracks "What You Waiting For?" and "Serious", describing it as a "crisp blend of edgy 21C production and early 80s Madonna-esque pop."[5]
Jason Damas, in a review for PopMatters, characterized the song as "a slippery slice of keyboard driven new wave pop that easily could've slotted into any No Doubt album...pitched halfway between The Go-Gos and Cyndi Lauper, but after each chorus there's a string of 'Uh-Oh-Uh-Uh-Oh' backing vocals that sound as if they were lifted straight out of Fleetwood Mac's 'Everywhere'", and added, "the lyrics immediately ensure it will be sung along to by lonely 16-year-olds."[6] Other reviews commented on the 80s sound of the song, with Bill Lamb of About.com proclaiming it to be "Gwen's lost Cyndi Lauper tune...[it] has the same warm, reflective feel of major [Lauper] hits in the 80's such as 'Time After Time' and 'All Through the Night'." Lamb also felt that it "doesn't immediately grab attention like her other singles."[7] A note of dissent came from Eric Greenwood, who said the song "is retrofitted with stale synths and chugging guitars to be a feel good, post-break up classic but with dorkier lyrics than even Cyndi Lauper would dare."[8]
