Critical reception
Vice 's Ryan Bassil wrote that "the image of heaven – or a similarly flawless place – continues to be the thing I think about when I hear this song". Bassil wrote that the sample served as the song's bedrock, praising it as "a never-changing, constant, euphoric nebula." He said the combination of the vocal and the "warm, original" production made it "intoxicating", and felt that the repetition "creates a trance-like feeling, where the sounds become a kaleidoscope; where intimate and tiny details shift, but on a grand scale." [1] KCRW called it "a ten-plus minute epic that you may love, hate, grudgingly respect, and love again all within a single listen." [3] Pitchfork said it "bulldozes the path from repetition to delirium using the grand sum of seven words over 11 minutes". [4]
The Guardian 's Ben Beaumont-Thomas praised "its 10 minutes of overwhelming euphoria, where a maximalist arrangement of in-the-red synths and repeated declaration of love is followed by the same maximalist arrangement of in-the-red synths and repeated declaration of love, this time with a whacking great bass drum added." He added that song has the ability to erase "the intellectual capacity of an entire dancefloor" when it is played. [2] Complex said it was "like an experiment: how much repetition could a listener or dancer take", and said that Falcon and Bangalter's answer was "given the right injection of euphoria ... a lot".
