Reception

Critical response

The song has received generally favorable reviews from music critics.
"The album’s song, “Honey, Let Me Sing You A Song," begins quietly then bursts into the chorus as Hires begs his lady not to run away, to listen to his words (as they come out wrong). It's sweeping and expressive, but – as cute as Hires is – watching the completely unrelated music video kinda warps the experience." —Creative Loafing[1]

"The lead off track is “Honey, Let Me Sing You A Song," which Hires gave us a little taste of in the form of an acoustic demo on his "Live From The Hotel Cafe" EP. This is the song that will make him a household name, and should be all over the radio and at the top of the charts in no time at all." —This Is Modern[2]

"...Hires requests, “Honey, Let Me Sing You a Song". With his folky pop and aching croon, how could you deny him?" —People Magazine[3]
