In 2019, the song was used in the commercial for the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanc%C3%B4me">Lancôme </a>Idôle fragrance, which starred <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendaya">Zendaya </a>.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-10">[10] </a>

"Unstoppable" has received mostly positive critical reception, with most reviewers commenting on its theme of empowerment. Jessie Morris of <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_(magazine)">Complex </a>commented that the song sounds like a "page torn right out of <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demi_Lovato">Demi Lovato </a>'s <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confident_(album)">Confident </a>book", while editors of other media platforms like <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idolator_(website)">Idolator </a> noticed this as well, which raised speculation that the track was intentionally written for Lovato.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-11">[11] </a> <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-12">[12] </a> <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)">Billboard </a> 's Jessica Katz said the song is reminiscent of work by <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rihanna">Rihanna </a>and "clearly follows in the lineage of emotional barn-burners that have become [Sia's] trademark".<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-Katz-6">[6] </a> Michelle Lulic of <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bustle_(magazine)">Bustle </a> said its lyrics "make it clear is the female empowerment anthem you had no idea you were missing from your life.

Because, honestly, if it was Rihanna, Adele, or even Katy Perry singing this song, it still wouldn't lose its powerful message."<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-Lulic-13">[13] </a>

<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV">MTV </a>'s Emilee Lindner said it "encourages those who are feeling weak to put their armor on". Furthermore, she wrote, "The song seems like it's taking the message from her previously released track, '<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alive_(Sia_song)">Alive </a>,' and giving it a boost. Instead of just surviving, she's going to prove to people that she's going to succeed, and she's going to look good doing it."<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-Lindner-7">[7] </a> Daniel Kreps of <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone">Rolling Stone </a> called the song "triumphant", with a "fist-pumping, wall-smashing" chorus.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-Kreps-14">[14] </a> <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereogum">Stereogum </a> ' s Tom Breiham, who wrote about the song after its debut but before This Is Acting 's release, guessed that Sia wrote "Unstoppable" with a recording artist like <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy_Perry">Katy Perry </a>in mind. He compared the song to the work of <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_and_the_Machine">Florence and the Machine </a>.<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_(Sia_song)#cite_note-Breihan-5">[5] </a>
