Cameron Adams of Herald Sun also noted that "it sounds like Max Martin trying to write a Coldplay song by recycling his Backstreet Boys handiwork." Chris Payne wrote for Billboard that Daylight is "a bittersweet tale that builds momentum towards one of the album's most up-tempo songs that follows it listen closely and you might hear a Chris Martin homage in Levine's 'whoa-oh's'." Mesfin Fekadu from The Huffington Post also saw similarities, writing that the song "looks like a bad Coldplay cover." Adam Markovitz from Entertainment Weekly agreed, calling it "a Coldplay-ish song." Markovitz also wrote that the song "has choruses so thickly produced that the only physical instrument you can reliably pick out is Levine's larynx.
