 Robert Copsey for Digital Spy found it a "delicate yet cinematic slice of synth-pop".Andrew Hannah from The Line of Best Fit complimented McCracken's ability "to produce a killer chorus", in addition to "the ability to tell a story, and lift the music away from the dreary conventionality of a song about relationships".A critic from Sunset in the Rearview called the single a "pop winner", while DeShaun Zollicoffer of GeekRevolt labelled it a "stand out track".
