Look for Me

Fraser McAlpine of BBC Chart Blog gave the song a positive review and 4 stars stating: "Listen to that chorus, eh? Talay, I barely know you, but I really FEEL that you would BE THERE for me, if the RAIN STARTS TO FA...er..I mean...if I was having a rough time of things. You are clearly a very big-hearted fella, and not adverse to pulling your weight if the people you love needed it. Now, the only problem is, I'm not sure if I can 100% rely on your support if the choruses are full of friendship and love and support for me the listener, but the verses are a big long list of why Chipmunk is brilliant at rapping and probably going to be the best in the world for the rest of time. So, what sort of a song IS this? Is Talay offering to support Chipmunk, should he ever have moments of doubt and uncertainty, so that he can go on to become even more amazing? Should we even be listening to this moment of (*cough*) rad bromance? Well obviously yes we should, Chippy demands it. And what Chippy wants...Santa delivers." Digital Spy awarded the song 3 and a half out of 5 stars and said of the song: "I work hard, like stuff the haters / Took all the stairs, no escalators," raps Chipmunk on his new single. Listening to the line now, the mind can't help but wander to the rapper's recent troubles. Thankfully, the Tottenham lad now seems close to fighting form again and he's got another pop-rap smash up his hoodie sleeve. 'Look for Me' might be derivative - wonder if the Peas agreed to lend him their 'I Gotta Feeling' riff? - but it's perky as a pony with it and Chip shows as much spunky charm as ever. Pick of the lyrics? "Ain't no weave, I'm really hair." Let's hope he gets chance to put his feet up over the Christmas holidays. Popstar or not, no shoes on the sofa though."
