Critical reception[]

Jack Lynch of GRM Daily wrote, "With a powerful yet futuristic-sounding instrumental, S-X layers his harmonies and melodic style well, as he touches on a story between himself and one of his counterparts. S-X’s vocal range is emphasised on the high-pitched hook as a flawless and flexible one, as he touches both ends of the spectrum throughout the tune."[5] Kaitlin Milligan of BroadwayWorld wrote, "With S-X lending his soaring vocals, 'Neither Would I' is a heartfelt track that skilfully pairs electronic elements with organic instrumentation... as [S-X] pours over a failed relationship."[6] Sam Rasmin of Creative Generation UK wrote, "The multi-talented creative continues to showcase his endless amounts of musical ability. The production stands strong and grips you from the get go, before he then laces the beat with yet another flawless vocal performance. Creating a vibe which is very much in line with his extensive back catalogue of music, it is clear to see that S-X has found a winning formula." Rasmin proclaimed that "there is no doubt that this [song] will be doing crazy numbers".[7]

Music video[]

The music video for "Neither Would I" was released to S-X's YouTube channel on 9 January 2020.[8] The video was co-directed by Troy Roscoe and Danyl Goodall.[7] It was filmed in Marrakesh, Morocco.[6] Speaking about the music video, S-X explained: "I wanted to shoot the video in Morocco, Marrakech to be precise, because I feel that the city visually and energetically captures the meaning of the song perfectly. It's a place full of love and nice people, yet it has many broken and run down parts. Underneath it all, there is always a sense of unity."[6]
