Critical reception

Neil Jones of MusicOMH commented that "when it comes down to it, this single thrills you inside, possibly because of, and never despite, its ultra-artistic veneer." [5] By contrast, Alex Lai of Contactmusic.com said, "those who are not fans of the genre are unlikely to find the mid-pace bleeps and samples appealing" and that Karin Dreijer Andersson's voice is "not best used here." [6]
