Critical reception

Elle magazine called the "I-should-have-left-your-ass-years-ago ballad" Stone Loves "standout track." while Lynn Norment from Ebony described the song as "brassy." In his review of Stone Love Robert Hilburn, writing for The Los Angeles Times, wrote: "Stone shines on her own, especially with "U-Haul," a song co-written and co-produced by Missy Elliott that serves as a playful statement of survival."
