The A.V. Club ranked the song first on their list of seven uplifting Morrissey songs, commenting, "'Sheila Take A Bow,' one of the Smiths' singles from 1986, is built on one of Johnny Marr's most swaggering guitar riffs—and Morrissey's lyrics verge on a pep talk. ... For someone who's always been accused of wallowing in his own misery, and enabling his fans to do the same, it’s an upbeat about-face." Rolling Stone rated the song as the band's 33rd best, writing, "Some fans were horrified at the totally unironic warmth of this single, but Moz sincerely roots for Sheilas everywhere to rise up and boot the world in the crotch." Consequence also ranked the song as the 33rd best Smiths song, writing, "The track's Bowie-esque feel evidently struck a chord with the public, as it went on to become the highest-charting single of the band's lifetime. Sheila take a bow, indeed."

Is it wrong to want to live on your own?
No, it's not wrong – but I must know
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you (oh)
Oh

Is it wrong not to always be glad?
No, it's not wrong – but I must add
How can someone so young
Sing words so sad?

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear
And don't go home tonight
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
The one that you love and who loves you (oh)

Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la
You're a girl and I'm a boy
La
Take my hand and off we stride
Oh, la
I'm a girl and you're a boy
La

Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
La
Throw your homework onto the fire
Come out and find the one that you love
Come out and find the one you love
