The song received positive reviews from critics. Warren Truitt of About.com complimented Swift's "chim[ing]" in the ballad.[8] Heather Phares of Allmusic praised the track, calling it "the best song on Hannah Montana: The Movie".[4] She complimented it for being "more genuine, more effortless, than any of [Cyrus'] or Hannah's tracks".[4] James Berardinelli agreed, stating, "Arguably, the movie's biggest mistake is having Taylor Swift perform a song, since she can sing and the comparison is not flattering to the movie's star."[9] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly described "Crazier" as "a pretty, yearning ballad."[10] Premiere magazine reviewer Olivia Putnal referred to Swift's performance one of the film's "high points".[11] Peter Hartlaub of The San Francisco Chronicle believed that Swift's cameo was enjoyable, but also calls it a mistake on the part of the filmmakers, explaining "Swift is so talented that she makes Cyrus seem bland by comparison."[12] Perry Seibert from TV Guide wrote, "when genuine teen star Taylor Swift shows up to perform [...] she demonstrates all the spontaneity and authenticity that Miley Cyrus lacks."[13]
