Various publications compared the track to Mars's "Versace on the Floor" (2017).[19][20][25] Consequence's staff along with Mary Siroky also found similarities with Mars's "That's What I Like" (2017).[19] NME's Anna Rose said "Leave the Door Open" was "reminiscent of 60s and 70s easy listening love songs".[26] On the same vein, Zoe Haylock from Vulture dubbed the single a "smooth bedroom classic" as invokes the "'70s slow jams".[6] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times thought Mars's falsetto voice to be close to the Spinners and the Stylistics.[23] Similarly, The New York Times's Jon Pareles compared the "close-harmony seductions" to the ones used by the Spinners, the Manhattans and the Stylistics.[21] Variety writer Jem Aswad compared its style to the Delfonics and the Chi-Lites.[15] MTV News's Patrick Hosken affirmed it is a "throwback to the time of Bobby Womack and Curtis Mayfield".[22] Billboard speculated that the single "plays off the title and chorus" of Teddy Pendergrass' "Close the Door" (1978).
