Composition

A lot of the quotes are simply reviews and should be in the Critical reception section.
Try not to use quotes for this section too much, instead picking out the bits about vocals and instrumentation and saying how they are included in the song instead of an entire thought from one critic.

Response - Critical reception

I made a slight c/e to the section headings.
This is just full of quotes. Paraphrase every other one into your own words.
