Critical reception
Chris Malone Mndez of 'Billboard' deemed the song "an amalgamation of the different sounds that the singer has mastered so farover her career", including "the slinky R&B feel of her mixtapes and last year's EP 'Nightride', the poppy dance mood that characterized 'Joyride' Japanese Version singles "Player" and "Superlove," as well as an unfamiliar EDM-leaning sound that feels like it belongs in an Ultra Music Festival set rather than a Tinashe song". Bianca Garwood of 'Ebony' regarded it as an "upbeat track" and an "electrodance tune". Tom Breihan of 'Stereogum' called it "a gleaming club track that sound much more like '90s Euro-techno than it probably should". Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHip described it as "a celebratory song" and "a feel-good party anthem" that is "highlighted by its EDM-infused production and Tinashe's vocals". Mike Wass of Idolator called it "a sugary, disco-tinged banger".
