Reception

Lara Thissen from Melo Maniac Mag wrote: "The song has a beautiful melody that builds up its strength and takes up pace towards the end. The musician has this stunning talent to layer his harmonies in a way that makes listening to the song feel like it's a first time experience all over again, no matter how many times you've actually listened to the song already." ^[3]
