Sobre a "campeã", a publicação destacou: "Embora o trio de art-punk nova-iorquino Yeah Yeah Yeahs seja frequentemente celebrado por sua energia vibrante e excêntrica, é um momento de maior calmaria que se tornou a canção mais duradoura da banda. Há uma beleza singular na humanidade crua e despida da interpretação de Karen O, acompanhada pela guitarra trêmula de Nick Zinner: se, por um lado, Karen costuma parecer um fogo de artifício vivo em meio às explosões mais intensas do Yeah Yeah Yeahs, em 'Maps' ela se mostra subitamente desarmada e vulnerável, munida apenas de um tremor na voz e da honestidade absoluta de uma mensagem sincera.
Reza a lenda que a música foi escrita para seu então namorado, Angus Andrew, da banda Liars - há quem diga que o título seria um acrônimo para 'My Angus Please Stay' ('Meu Angus, por favor, fique'), detalhe que o videoclipe, marcado por lágrimas, parece confirmar -, mas a história real acaba sendo quase secundária.
O que perdura em 'Maps' é o sentimento puro; tanto que, ao longo dos anos, a canção serviu de inspiração musical para artistas que vão de Kelly Clarkson a Beyoncé. Ainda assim, a versão original permanece como a mais marcante ao longo das décadas, ressoando com qualquer pessoa que já tenha compreendido súplicas sussurradas diante de um timing cruel e de despedidas inevitáveis - e o que significa persistir, mesmo quando dói."
