Critical reception

Tony Cross from Smash Hits gave "Perfect Day" four out of five, writing, "What madness is this? Oh, hang on, it's only for the first ten seconds that "the mef" go doo-lally. Then James comes along and calms it all down with his posh-bloke-with-a-cob-on lyrics that let you know the spoiled brats with attitude are back, after four hit-free years, with a great record. Wild guitar battles with synth and flute (yes, FLUTE!) in a pop blender that'll get you shaking your buns till Easter." ^[2]

Music video

The music video was shot in Florida and shows the band roaming around doing different things. It also shows random shots of locals and also shows the band posing as locals.
