Critical reception[]

Fuse TV called the song "an immediate standout from the soundtrack that will remind you of the first time you ever fell in love" adding "From the romantic lyricism to the lush production, 'Strawberries & Cigarettes' is a beautifully heartbreaking tale of a fairytale-like love that is no longer."[3] Sam Samshenas from Gay Times UK called it a "nostalgic pop number" and "one of Troye's best songs to date".[4] All Things Go said "This is one of those perfect pop songs that go out to that special someone we love. Though heavily layered with studio magic, Troye's vocals stand out the most, serenading with the warmth of true love."[5]
