Reception

Kat Bein from Billboard described "Fake Magic" as "hip house pop with a tinge of darkness to keep things interesting." [2]

Triple J dubbed the song "a lush, funky throwback jam with a tasty, punctuated vocal line from Aluna. Like most of the mega-singles in their back catalogue, 'Fake Magic' is a strut-ready d-floor banger." [3]
