Reception
'TotalNtertainment' said "It begins as a subtle piano based offering and builds quickly into an uplifting pop banger with a punchy, groove-focused hook."
Josh Regan Matthews from 'The Edge' rated the song 4 out of 5 calling the song "a Bold and Successful Experiment". Matthews said "The song heavily focuses on creating an atmosphere for the listener; the opening minute creates a slow and mellow vibe which can be associated to a number of DMA's songs with frontman Tommy O Dell's soft and gentle voice. Once that minute is over though, the song changes completely to a dance-fuelled pop party anthem."
