      Reception


      The song earned largely mixed reviews from music critics. Lennat Mak from MTV Asia wrote about the song: "Written about Phoenix's birth and the joy she is bringing, the guitar-y ballad "Lullaby" has a heartfelt touch injected with such sincerity that it reveals a rarely seen side of Mel B: Motherly, affectionate, and loving." NME called the song "a pretty TLC-style ballad." Caroline Sullivan, writing for The Guardian, remarked that "Lullabye" was "one of those lapses into slurpiness, like Oasis's "Little James," that can happen to anyone." Nigel Packer of BBC Music called "Lullaby" a "lightweight feel-good anthem which could have stepped straight from a cereal ad.
