==Critical reception==
The song received generally positive reviews. About.com said that "If you were one of the people wondering if Jennifer Hudson could sustain her vocal energy, power and passion on a full album like she did in the role of Effie in the movie Dreamgirls and like she also does on the album's opening song and first single, "Spotlight," then wonder no more: the answer's a definite yes. "Spotlight" exemplifies the album as a whole: it's got a strong, independent woman singing strongly about love and relationships. In this case, the song is about a controlling lover: "If I'm just love's prisoner, then I'm bustin' out," she sings."〔http://randb.about.com/od/reviews/fr/JenniferHudson.htm〕 AllHipHop said that "“Spotlight” as catchy as it is was not debut single-worthy, and a brand new artist wouldn't have been looked at twice; but because it was Jennifer (and penned by Ne-Yo) attention was paid.".〔http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/alternatives/archive/2008/10/01/20545158.aspx〕 Allmusic said that " 'Spotlight' was both promising and satisfying, nearly a dead-center bull's-eye — dramatic but not over the top, powerful but not a gratuitous fireworks display, a melancholy but striking midtempo track with a gently thumping four-four pulse." Digital Spy said that Hudson "navigates the emotional complexities of 'Spotlight', on which she plays a downtrodden girlfriend".〔http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a131844/jennifer-hudson-jennifer-hudson.html〕 ''New York Daily News'' said that the song's "trendy, staccato backup vocals give the song spine. Better, the character presented by the lyrics - a put-upon woman who's finally stepping out - fits Hudson's persona as the angry queen of payback." Slant magazine said that "Lead single "Spotlight" is a serviceable, pulsating, you-did-me-wrong jam that is, thanks to Stargate and Ne-Yo, perfectly in line with today's trends."〔http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/music_review.asp?ID=1521〕 ''The Times'' said the song "is predictably mid-tempo as it tries to please all her fan bases at once."
