Reception
editDancing Astronaut's Alex Lambeau called the song "a bridge between [Gorgon City's] signature vocal-heavy sound and classic 808 drums" with layered vocals "over a disco-laced bassline" that could be "their next great club hit".[3] Nina Chiang of EDMTunes also pointed out its "thumping bass line" and groove, remarking that it has "a more techno-driven rhythm".[4] Katie Bain of Billboard named it one of the "5 dance tracks you need to hear this week" upon its release, calling it "an anthem about the alchemy of romance that balances prismatic vocals with a heady, sort of celestial progressive house production".[2]
