Critical reception
Sian Rowe of NME reviewed the track positively, writing[3]
"Wraith is about falling in love with a prostitute", says Peace frontman, Harrison Koisser on his band’s new single. "But not really a prostitute and not really falling in love" he adds, confusingly. Whichever it is, thanks to the lyrics "blow me like a floating feather" Peace can add 'love a good blow job reference' to their rock CV.
