Reception

Stereogum felt that it was "mellow" and "could have been written in the '60s",^[2] while the Guardian called it "strutting, tongue-in-cheek funk".^[3] Pitchfork compared the song to Booker T, Sun Ra and the Zombies, but considered it overall to fit the distinct sound of the band, and praised details of the songwriting such as the "out-of-nowhere elevator-music break".^[4] National Public Radio praised it as a "marvel of spare instrumentation".^[5]
