God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me

David Courtright of Atlanta Music Guide reviewed a September 21, 2010 performance of the track at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Georgia, which he deemed "the perfect venue for [CocoRosie]." Courtright described the track a "crowd-pleaser" for the "bohemian, rather same-sex oriented" audience. Detailing the performance, the review states that the Casady sisters appeared on stage wearing "a very French ensemble... floral-patterned black stockings with runs and holes, red lips outlined in black" and a "beat-box wizard, a percussionist and a piano/synth player... [a] drum/percussion kit was encased in an antique baby's crib with fat baby painted on the side... Behind [them] was a large screen that projected every kind of bizarre psychedelic image... doll heads dripping blood and crying to orbiting paper roses, flashes of heat lightning, close ups of lion fur and mane, carousels spinning, lots of eyeballs crying and blinking, and crucifixes".[11]

The single received mixed reviews, with music website Rate Your Music giving it an average rating of 2.95 out of 5.[6] Stereogum described it as "an instructional auto-tuning paean to Mama Nature", stating that it "offers some supreme springtime anthemics" and that "the vocal effects take a little getting used to, though almost immediately they do make it all the easier to dance".[2] A Brassland Records article on CocoRosie described it as "outrageously disco".[12] Amazon Music editorial reviews describe the track as having "a springtime dance floor sound", stating "CocoRosie narrates a suicide story that takes place in a tender and elated moment of innocence, focusing on releasing and returning to Mother Nature."[13]

A 2016 interview with Bianca Casady suggested that the track was "straight-forward" and feminist, and attempted to "overtly feminiz[e] the Judeo-Christian God... only to find that the message was lost on listeners yet again." Bianca, retrospectively discussing its release, stated “I thought we were super heavy-handed... We had to start being so blatant about being feminist.”[14]
