Critical reception
The song has been described as "haunting" by critics. Kris Kirk from Melody Maker wrote, "Ex-Spirit of Watts vocalist Mica drops the hot gospel and goes supercool secular with a jazzy, dreamy swayer of a dance track that's certain to be a summer hit, despite the fact I nearly dropped off." [1]
