Critical reception
musicOMH's John Murphy stated that the track "gets things started in a suitably smouldering way, a soulful, swaggering number that’s both slow-burning and, when the chorus kicks in, gloriously unrestrained."[7] Graeme Virtue of The Guardian described the song as "a sexy mega-thumper enhanced by mournful melodica toots."[8] Stereogum critic Pranav Trewn called the song "an audacious, groovy slow-burner built on a muted bassline and sold via firecracker guitars and an impeccable-as-ever vocal performance".[9] According to The Independent's Andy Gill, the track's "predatory throb explodes into a chugging fuzz-rock boogie streaked with squalling guitars."[10]
