Critical reception

Birmingham Evening Mail wrote, "More top pop sounds from the four girl group should see them holding their own despite all the competition around these days."[1] CantStopThePop complimented the hooks of the song as "unmistakeably Max Martin through and through." They added that the "glorious pre-chorus (“We’ve got to stop this game, tell me do you feel the same?”) is arguably the highlight of the song. It’s an effortless snapshot of pop music at its most uplifting and sunniest".[2] Sunday Mirror described it as "gnawingly good pop which should have you all on solids by the end of the week."[3]
