Reception

Stereogum felt that it was "mellow" and "could have been written in the '60s", [2] while the Guardian called it "strutting, tongue-in-cheek funk". [3] Pitchfork faulted the lyrics as "reek(ing) of a distinct lack of confidence", but lauded the music, in particular the "out-of-nowhere elevator-music break".
