Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
A soaring and rowdy intro immediately kick-starts his campaign with substantially more clout than his broody ballads of 2012. "Suddenly I'm standing on a treetop up so high/ And all the songs, and all the poets, suddenly they're right," he declares over clattering acoustics and pounding piano riffs, passionately drunk on the first drops of love. Fortunately, with the public's appetite for organic singer-songwriters fully renewed, Tom is making the right noise at just the right time.
