Reception

Daniel Grear of Arkansas Times called the song contained the same "clumsy magic" that made the band's earlier content special. [2] Chris Deville of Stereogum also commented on how the song revived the band's unique sound, citing the "morbidly hilarious" lyrics and a "dynamic twinkly emo" sound. [4] Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan called it "a quirky, ’90s-style indie-emo song inspired by male pattern baldness". [5]
