Fraser McAlpine of BBC Chart Blog gave the song a positive review stating:
Sometimes the brightest gems are right in front of your eyes,hiding in plain sight. Or just obscured by people who know they are there,but have forgotten to tell you.
With this song,and its fantastic video,I will admit that my attention was miles away,probably raking through some slower,drabber,less fun things (ie:ANYTHING ELSE). I had no idea something this ker-ay-zee,this life-affirming,this astonishingly chipper was released across on my beloved internet just seven days ago,until a friend dragged me over to look at what he called "the skipping video" on his phone.
Yeah,that's right,a skipping video. I mean how impressive can a video which features people either successfully or unsuccessfully jumping over a moving rope actually b...oh my LORD have you SEEN THE SKIPPING VIDEO? YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THE SKIPPING VIDEO! THE SKIPPING VIDEO IS AMAZING! . [2]
