gave it a positive review saying, "Philly newcomer Jazmine Sullivan is the first female in two years to top Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs
chart with a debut—"Need U Bad
"—not to mention No. 1 R&B album "Fearless." Theatrical yet believable, the 22-year-old follows with the midtempo "Bust Your Windows," emoting one of the most challenging vocals from a female R&B artist this year. Sullivan's husky voice floats effortlessly over an eerie underlining violin score, originating from a sample of producer Salaam Remi's composition "Bad Man Waltz." With two Billboard Hot 100 singles on the charts (and climbing), the prime-time drama that is Sullivan's music deserves to have a second season picked up. She's on fire and set to become one of the heralded new acts of the year." It features a part from Inglesina.

.
It features scenes of adultery involving Jazmine's boyfriend in the video mimicking the song and song lyrics. The video, however, does not feature Jazmine physically busting out car windows, as fans expected but instead the intense emotion of the song is displayed through Jazmine breaking wine glasses on a table; there is also a trail of glass leading up to the bedroom where she discovered what would bring out this feeling of rage within her.
The setting of the video is dark and features harsh coloured gases passing through the air whilst Jazmine is singing – adding the sense of anger and depression that the video is meant to bring out in the song. Other scenes feature her boyfriend's guilty conscience of what he's done – namely when he hesitantly looks himself in the mirror.
The video has received over 6,042,391 views on Jazmine's YouTube
channel, alone, making it her most viewed video on her channel so far.

Epinions reviewed the song:
It's the first hip-hop/R&B song set to a tango backdrop and it fits it perfectly. She slowly builds up a story of breaking the windows out of the car of her ex, who she caught with another woman. She realizes that what she's doing is wrong, that the relief from the pain she feels will be fast and fleeting, but one thing is for certain: a woman scorned, especially this one, is not to be messed with.
The musical layers are deceptively intricate, with a unison string/woodwind line that continually evolves throughout the song and a very simple vocal harmony mix that moves into a call and response against Jazmine's pleas.
Neither the facets scream for attention but repeated listens bear out just how well they framed this song.
