==Critical reception== Carmen Chin of ''NME'' noted how the "completely sublime vocal performance from NCT 127" and the elegant "fusion of the member’s different voices" make ‘Favorite (Vampire)’’s chorus "one of their best yet". Comparing it with "Sticker", she commented how the "hip-hop and trap-inspired verses blend much more naturally with the emotion-driven pre-chorus and hook’s whistle melody".<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/nct-127-favorite-vampire-review-repackage-3082458|title=NCT 127 – 'Favorite' review: a sweet spot amidst controlled chaos|last=Chin|first=Carmen|date=October 29, 2021|website=NME|access-date=November 3, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211029082512/https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/nct-127-favorite-vampire-review-repackage-3082458|archive-date=October 29, 2021|url-status=live}}</ref> Writing for ''Nylon'', Tanu I. Raj also compared the track to NCT 127's previous release and described the two as "polar opposite approaches to love".
