From Time's Top Songs of 2007:
"There've been thousands of aching guy reaching out to distant girl songs recorded over the years, and it's a credit to the Plain White T's that this one manages to feel fresh. Singer Tom Higgenson has an imperfect voice, but his nasal delivery makes the nearly-comic sincerity of his lyrics — "Delilah I can promise you/ That by the time we get through/ The world will never ever be the same" — seem completely genuine. Backed by a warm acoustic guitar and a hint of viola, Delilah is an intimate love song that's damn near universal."

I don't care what anyone else thinks, i don't care whether you want to argue over opinions, this song is terrible - fact.
