Reception
Critical response
"Domino" has received mixed to positive reviews from the critics, who praised the sound and tone of Jessie's performance but likened the track as too similar to Katy Perry. Scott Shelter from PopCrush gave it three and a half stars out of five. He said that "it’s clear the track is different then her usual work, and unfortunately it sounds more derivative than innovative, however ‘Domino’ is catchy enough to potentially become Jessie J’s biggest American hit."[2] Becky Bain from Idolator gave it a positive review, saying "Jessie sounds gorgeous on this track....but it still could welcome some unfavorable comparisons to Mrs. Perry."[3]
