Critical reception[]

AllMusic editor Roxanne Blanford described the song as a "uptempo celebration of life, delivered with sincerity and an engagingly happy sing-along chorus."[2] The Daily Vault's Christopher Thelen wrote that Emilia's vocals on "Good Sign" are "powerful without being overbearing", adding that a "solid beat (even though a lot of it is synthesized), matched with some well-placed Vocoder lyrics is evidence enough that Emilia has a reasonable shot at stardom."[3] Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel said that the singer offers "an uplifting bit of reggae-tinged light R&B".[4] Larry Printz from The Morning Call deemed it "Swedish pop in the ABBA/Ace Of Base tradition."[5]
