Russell Baillie from The New Zealand Herald described the song as 'soul-sass' and he felt that 'Aaliyah's voice weaves through the sparse but punchy arrangements with a mix of sultriness' on the song Track listing Odell stated,'I Care 4 U, cowritten by Missy Elliot, is the sort of 1970s style ballad that Aaliyah's aunt, Gladys Knight, would approve of - but again it's stripped down and rebuilt with layers of haunting keyboard and lo-tech vocal percussion'. Michael Odell from The Guardian praised the song and compared the it to the work of singer Gladys Knight. It's what Aaliyah doesn't do that make it still sound stunning – it would have been so easy to over-ladle the emoting here'. 'I Care 4 U, a Missy Elliot co-write, would be a conventional ballad on a more obvious soul star's album. Daryl Easlea from BBC UK praised Aaliyah's voice on the song saying. Luke McManus from the Irish publication RTE felt that Aaliyah showcased her voice more on the song and that her new found vocal ability matched the 'brilliance of the backing tracks' on the song. The electric piano and extremely earnest multi-tracked vocals give off the sheen of neo-soul this is Aaliyah doing Angie Stone'. According to Scarano 'If it weren't from some low-in-the-mix beatboxing and complicated drum programming, 'I Care 4 U' wouldn't register as a Timbaland production. Ross Scarano from Complex praised the production of the song and went as far as comparing the song to the work of Angie Stone.
