On-line music magazine, This is Fake DIY, states:
Releasing the song when they have is a smart move on the band's part; musically, it's got just the right sun-kissed, excitable tone for the summer time, along with some very festival-sing-a-long-friendly lyrics. 'Plage' is a catchy, fun pop single, more than ready to get stuck in that sun-burnt bonce of yours.
— Tom Baker
It was named by on-line music magazine, The Music fix, as a "single of the week" on 7 August 2011. [9]
