Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Sly beat and cool guitar chords promise some intriguing rock explorations. However, Weller's assertion that we have no future, we have no past proves only half true—the classic rockisms here in vocal and melody show Weller leaning heavily on the past." [5] Adam Higginbotham from Select complimented the song as "ace". [6] Uncut magazine called "Sunflower" a "shaggy, psychedelic exocet", placing it 23rd in its list of Weller's 30 best songs. [7] The Guardian ranked it number 11 in its list of Weller's top 30 tracks, stating that "more than any song, (it) set Weller's course in the 90s", and describing it as "a twitchy cocktail of Low Spark of High Heeled Boys-era Traffic and soul".
