Style

Laurence Day, writing for The Line of Best Fit, described the song as a Gothic, dark pop song.[1] Day described the tone of the track as "an overtly political glimpse into a murky corner of Editors' psyche, with hushed shoulder-shuffle beats and infectious, echoing riffs. It's glossy and catchy, shimmering out your speakers, but an omnipresent deluge of shadows looms large overhead - Editors continue to strike the perfect balance between light and dark."[1]

Writing for XS Noise, Mark Millar called "Forgiveness" as a track that "amply demonstrates [a] desire to ignore genres by mixing a loose dancefloor beat with spiraling melodies and a highly politicized lyric."[2]
