The song was met with critical acclaim. In his review for the album Higher Than Heaven for RIFF Magazine, journalist Mike DeWald highlighted the track, [9] stating:
"The magnificent track is carried by a percussive groove buoyed by a flute-like sample that gives it a throwback personality. Goulding’s singing and dialed-in arrangement make for one of the best songs on the album." [10]
Music critic Roy Lott, for mxdwn Music, described the song as a: "catchy dance tune about her lover picking her spirit up when she has been down on herself." [11]
The accompanying music video was directed by Joe Connor.
