He brought my voice out as well—there's notes that I hit in that song ("Rolling in the Deep") that I never even knew I could hit."

The song was universally lauded by critics. Lamb gave it a score of 5 out of 5, saying: "'Rolling in the Deep' [...] wastes no time in presenting the stunning bluesy authority of her voice....Here is a voice that can raise chills up the spine, and, when she is in a mood like this, the sense of foreboding will rivet your attention." Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine complimented the song's "sweeping chorus" and felt that the song "places a similar emphasis on its refrain but its multilayered instrumentation gives the English singer's wail a previously unheard depth".{{cite magazine|last=Lipshutz|first=Jason|title=Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/review/1068356/adele-rolling-in-the-deep|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|access-date=16 December 2010|date=3 December 2010}} Lipshutz said, "Adele's noticeable leap in vocal confidence highlights the track. She gracefully lingers on the last line of the verses and attacks the sorrowful chorus' first words, 'We could have had it all,' head on." Rolling Stone magazine's Barry Walters stated, "'Rolling in the Deep' finds the 22-year-old in bluesy gospel mode, sounding powerful but not particularly pop. Starting with a stroked acoustic guitar, this breakup-mourning track builds to a stomping, hand-clapping climax that affirms the British knack for rejiggering the sound of American roots music."{{cite magazine|last=Walters|first=Barry|title=Rolling in the Deep by Adele – Song Reviews|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/songreviews/rolling-in-the-deep-20101215|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101220083016/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/songreviews/rolling-in-the-deep-20101215|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 December 2010|magazine=Rolling Stone|publisher=Wenner Media LLC|access-date=16 December 2010|date=15 December 2010}}

In 2014, Aretha Franklin covered the song on her Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics album.{{cite news |url=http://popminute.com/news/?aretha-franklin-covers-adele-rolling-in-deep-2674 |title=Aretha Franklin Covers Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' |publisher=Pop Minute |date=30 September 2014 |access-date=1 February 2016 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303223121/http://popminute.com/news/?aretha-franklin-covers-adele-rolling-in-deep-2674 |url-status=live }} The performance may be termed a mash-up or medley as it includes the chorus from "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" written by singer-songwriters Ashford & Simpson.

It was released 29 September 2014 as the collection's lead single. This version peaked at number one on the US dance chart, giving Aretha Franklin her sixth number one on the chart. It also debuted at number 47 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Franklin thus became the first female, and fourth artist overall (following Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and James Brown), to place 100 songs on the charts (with her first entry on the chart being "Today I Sing the Blues" in 1960). This version of "Rolling in the Deep" entitled "Rolling in the Deep (The Aretha Version)" was Franklin's final single to be released before her retirement in 2017, and her death the following year.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6274323/aretha-franklin-100th-hit-r-and-b-chart|title=Aretha Franklin|magazine=Billboard}}
