[1] Writing for Your EDM, Matthew Meadow noted the song as having a "significant UK flair to his bass house with a bit of hip hop thrown into the mix that only he has been seemingly able to master", later praising the song's "complementary vocals and a powerful bassline that persistently drives everything forward."
