[16] Rob Copsey from Official Charts said that it was a "pool party song" and that it is the correct song to add to the Love Island CD. [7] Michael Ko from Billboard said: "It's most certainly a summer-made single, dripping in youthful romantic sentiments with an acoustic foundation". [17]

The band made a televised debut of the song at 2018 BBC Radio 1's Teen Awards, where they also won the Best British Group award for a second year in a row. Little Mix included the song in their setlist for LM5: The Tour, as a medley to "Black Magic".
