Critical reception

Writing for Dancing Astronaut , Harry Levin called the "lyrical message [...] typical and formulaic", but said that both Gorgon City and MK "rarely deviate from simple themes because they always deliver them in fine style". He also complimented the "piano rhythms" as "smooth rather than foreboding", the "vocal harmonies" as "uplifting and serene" and the drums as "tight and succinct". [1] Vivian Lin of Earmilk wrote that the track features "MK's signature piano melodies and [is] laced with Gorgon City's intrinsic uplifting dispositions" and that it contains "classic house traits as the track effortlessly glides over stirring soundscapes". [2] The cover artwork was designed by Samuel Muir Studio.
