[3] Jeffrey Yau of Your EDM thinks that the track "seemingly strikes the perfect balance between summer festival jam and infectious radio hit that'll easily stick in your head with its sugary-sweet lyrics and very simple chorus","all three artists' sounds and styles" are well blended,and "the melodies in the track are memorable enough to keep the tune in your head for a full day or more".
