Robin Murray from Clash Music called the song "stellar" saying "The fresh-sounding synth foundation builds into an imposing structure,the nuanced arrangement affording room for that powerful,propulsive vocal. There are shades of Chet Faker or even Disclosure here,a pop-edged underground sound making it on its own terms." [3] Julia Brodnick said "It's super catchy and has me dancing around with its pop-tinges and addictive melodies. Featuring vocals from Boy Matthews that really brings the song to competition,this tune is a perfect one to vibe out with." [4] Amnplify said "[it] is an infectious four-minutes of pitched-down soulful harmonies,driving bass lines and direct vocals from Boy Matthews –all wrapped within Hayden's signature twist of alluring momentum and rolling grooves."
