Description and reception

MTV's Madeline Roth described "Reminds Me" as an "anti-Valentine's song" and an "ice-cold breakup bop", with Petras "spilling her thoughts over a springy R&B beat".[6] Shaad D'Souza of The Fader called the song a "downcast, mid-tempo trap ballad" and the "kind of breakup track that would have fit perfectly on Petras' recent debut album Clarity".[7] Capital FM made a very similar description, also calling the track "steady".[8] Idolators Mike Nied described the song as a "bop" with "relatable" lyrics, which he said "capture what it feels like to have your heart broken by someone you trusted". Nied said the song has Petras "chasing away memories of an ex" and "[mourning] over a sparse soundscape.[9] Consequence of Sounds Lake Schatz described "Reminds Me" as a "thumpin' tune",[10] and Valerie Stepanova of V Magazine called the song a "beat-heavy breakup bop".[11] Billy Nilles of E! News wrote that the song was "remarkably relatable".[12] Laura Johnson from Stereoboard outlined the song as "beat-heavy, R&B influenced pop track".[13]
