The song features Elvis Costello on guitar and Matthew Sweet on backing vocals.[1]
Country music website Holler listed "Buttercup" as No. 8 of the best Lucinda Williams songs; "Lucinda offered the much-needed reprieve of a - somewhat - playful love song. Once again, the artist has distanced herself from a deceitful lover. Her pride beams with moments of 'I told you so', but her empathic nature forces, her to consider the brokenness behind the subject's wrongdoings."[2]
AllMusic wrote "Buttercup" is "a rollicking kiss-off to a former boyfriend in which Williams simply lays out the truth as she sees it amid a strident rock & roll cadence. The guitars swell and fade while the B-3 swirls around her voice and the low-end drums hammer her vocal accents home."[1]
