Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone reviewed the song positively, writing "Over south-of-the-border scraping, a fading-angel chorale and some delectable molasses-flow electro effluvia, he liquidates his soul inscrutably and beautifully. It's hard drive-rusting digital blues." [4] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times called the song "a typically expansive track that layers the singer's heavily reverbed vocals over folky acoustic guitar, rolling drums, trippy synth licks and droning, sitar-like sounds." [5]
All songs written and composed by Beck Hansen.
