"On the Rocks" is a song recorded by American singer Nicole Scherzinger for her second studio album Big Fat Lie (2014).
"[4] Brad O'Mance, writing for Popjustice, wrote that "On the Rocks" was "by some distance the worst single of Nicole Scherzinger's entire career.
[7] Writing Digital Spy, Lewis Corner echoed Newman's comments adding "that zest teased with 'Your Love' quickly evaporated, leaving expectations for Big Fat Lie unbearably low.
[8] Jacques Peterson from Pop Dust opined that "the lack of success for 'Your Love,' Nicole is now playing it way too safe with the generic follow-up single.
"[9] A writer for MuuMuse wondered if it's one of the strongest songs of the album and criticized the use of Auto-Tune noting Scherzinger as "a verifiably very good singer.
"[10] Writing for Idolator Bradley Stern also criticized the use of Auto-Tune and noted the song could serve as a B-side to Kelly Rowland's "Rose Colored Glasses" (2010).
