Critical reception

Upon its release as a single, Stuart Maconie of NME described "Say It" as an "inconsequential House ditty" and added, "I like the guitar, I like the Philly strings. I don't like anything else. But 'I was baked Alaska' must be the bravest lyrical gambit of the decade. A pity this germ of lunacy couldn't have infect more of the song." [1]
