The music blog Bit Of Pop Music gave a mixed review, saying that the song might be a bit basic and repetitive in terms of vocals and lyrics" but stated that "the production is impeccable".[15] The Bozo gave the song a lukewarm review but compared it to the sounds of Charli XCX and praised it as their favorite out of the three songs released together.[16]
