Clover Hope of Billboard wrote a positive review regarding "Promise" and noted that it is "unlike any other Ciara single released thus far", calling it "sultry and deliberate, the kind of song that grows on you".[11] Hope remarked: "While the carefully measured tempo sounds incompatible with her whispery cadence, it is also strangely appealing?particularly the changes in melody. Despite some juvenile lyrics, 'Promise' finds Ciara on a refreshing new plateau: No 1, 2 steps here."[11] The Washington Post's Chris Richards commented that Ciara "gets it right" with "Promise", saying that it "thread a more distinctive melody through the Prince-inspired grooves", and named it one of the album's best tracks.[25] Andy Kellman of Allmusic called it "tremendous, one of the sexiest, slow-tempo, non-breakup songs of the past ten years".[26] He selected it as one of The Evolution's standouts and deemed it the only "clear-cut" highlight.[26]

USA Today critic Elysa Gardner commented that Ciara plays a "demure temptress" on the single, showcasing a "slight but sweetly tangy voice and budding emotional presence".[27] While reviewing the album, St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Kevin Johnson commented that Ciara is best at taking "a coo of a voice, lay it on top of a muscular beat, and come out smelling rosy" on "big-bottom ballads", referring to "Promise".[28] Dan Duke of The Virginian-Pilot recommended the track for digital download.[29] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote that the song is "decidedly different" from Ciara's previous singles, which he believed indicated that the singer "is, in fact, evolving?at least in terms of marketing".[30] Cinquemani deemed "Promise" an example of a producer making better Prince songs than Prince himself.[30] While noting that the album's theme is evolution, Jim Abbott of Orlando Sentinel stated that "Unfortunately, it's nostalgia, not evolution, that makes a sexy ballad such as 'Promise' so appealing."[31]
