Review Excerpts
- "“Heartless” is everything “Love Lockdown” isn’t. This song leaves Kanye’s autotune satisfied, controlling the hook-laden chorus — and the verses are strickly no-studio effect zones". - Pretty Much Amazing!
- "As on "Love Lockdown," the hook is a showcase for Kanye's heavily Auto-Tune'd singing, in this case about the girl "cold as the winter wind" who broke his heart. It's lonely at the top, Yeezy. Hear the coldest story ever told this way..." - Stereogum
