The Washington Post described the song as 'too mushy'. but the chorus gains some momentum and the song would work well enough in a club setting that you could forgive its otherwise glaring weaknesses.' Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic chose 'Firework' among the top tracks on the album, Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song five out of five stars, calling it 'a straight up self-empowerment anthem wrapped in a Coldplay-on-poppers club banger from the Stargate team.' PopMatters wrote that 'Firework' is 'the record's last hurrah though nothing particularly memorable.'Firework' has at least a bit of staying power'. Sure, the would-be inspirational lyrics ('Baby you're a firework/Come on show them what you're worth') are nonsensical. Slant Magazine stated that the song is 'not an actively painful listen. MTV praised Perry's vocals, though felt the lyrics were 'clunky'.
