Mindy McCall from Indie Pulse Music wrote, ''"There is a little disconnect between the song’s subject matter and footage, but it isn’t enough to undermine either. It is notable that he focuses much of the video’s attention on medical professionals and links up well with the opening tribute he pays to the nurses and scientists. His vocals are especially potent. The way he attacks the lyric makes the words sound like a call to arms and his muscular phrasing immeasurably enhances the words."''<ref>{{Cite web|last=mindymccall|date=2021-03-26|title=“Jab the World” by Vineet|url=https://indiepulsemusic.com/2021/03/26/jab-the-world-by-vineet/|access-date=2021-05-19|website=IndiePulse Music Magazine|language=en-US}}</ref>

Bethany Page at Vents Magazine said ''"The music has a vibrant sound that reaches out of the speakers without ever overwhelming listeners. Its physical qualities are even more impressive when considering Vineet’s want for pursuing a light electronica driven composition. Synthesizers, pre-programmed percussion and bass blend with ease."''<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-06-11|title=Vineet’s new single release “I Pray”|url=https://ventsmagazine.com/2021/06/10/vineets-new-single-release-i-pray/|access-date=2021-06-15|website=Vents Magazine|language=en-US}}</ref>

The Score Magazine also said, ''"It would be easy to draw comparisons with other singers but that would be lazy and disingenuous to Vineet whose voice hides little in the way of emotion but it is not mawkish.
