Critical reception[]
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "chugs with a synth-happy, reggae-spiced beat and a bit of throat-ravaging toasting by Gibril "Mr. Gee" Jobe." He added that "the focal point of the track, however, is singer Linn Engstrom, who has a reedy voice and an icy-cool delivery."[3]
