[3] On AllMusic, reviewer Matthew Greenwald wrote about the song, "One if [sic] the most self-effacing and personal songs to reach the Top Ten charts in the 1990s, "It's Good to Be King" deals with the phenomenon of rock & roll stardom."
He described the song's melody as "elegant and folk-rock-ish", and "buttressed" by a Michael Kamen string arrangement that he described as "absolutely stunning".
