Critical reception[]

Columbia Daily Spectator wrote that the song "sounds like ifs been ejected from a blender on high speed. The fashionably detached vocalist's singsong is more seductive than any gasping oh-baby could hope to be."[1] Pop Rescue noted that "some acidy synths and a pumping beat usher" in the track. They added that Gala’s vocals here "continue their minimal wanderings."[2]
