commented "Even in "Get Outta My Way", which stages a voyeuristic ménage à trois – "see me with him and it’s turning you on" – the music goes bounding along, chipper and indifferent." PrefixMag commented that the production off "both tracks (and "Put Your Hands Up") are all synths and thumps, or readymade pogo machines designed to incite a perma-state (physical or mental) of arms-up feet-jumping.
