According to Soul Bounce, “‘Sorry Would Go A Long Way’ finds the singer and producer Jimmy Napes getting back to her basics with a spare arrangement of acoustic guitar and vocals. It’s a fitting arrangement to accompany the song’s honest and bare lyrics. They find Tori addressing a lover as she lets him know that though he might talk a good game, the one thing he could say that would really help is simply ‘I’m sorry.’ The song’s video delves further into things by continuing the story told in the clip for ‘Change Your Mind.’ Rather than show what happens next between the father and daughter, though, it takes us back to the beginning. There we see the joyous moments of his own wedding juxtaposed with scenes at home as the marriage falls apart. Both the hurt and love expressed in the song and visual are palpable, evoking the rawest of emotions whether you’ve been through something similar or not.”
