At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, "Good Morning Gorgeous" received three nominations, including Record of the Year, Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.

Eric Torres from Clash described "Good Morning Gorgeous" as a "torchy cut" and "quintessential Mary: an anthem of self-love to lift yourself out of the darkness, gilded with fingersnaps, leisurely guitar melodies, and dynamic backing vocals.

"[3] Variety critic A.D. Amorosi is the most devastating test of all: a hot-winded ambient whirr where the blues and gospel act as sand and silt.

To this, an echo-affected Blige burrows deep into the dos and don’ts of the self’s rights and wrongs before coming up with a mirror’s daily affirmation, and a damn impactful plea for respect.
