Critical reception

Writing for NME, in a review, Fred Garratt-Stanley noted that the track has, "clear, cutting, confessional verses."^[2] The Observer's Damien Morris writes that the track, "benefits hugely from Young Adz’s alien Auto-Tune coos," however, "the chill, sparse productions foreground Clavish’s economical delivery beautifully, as he flirts with imploring vulnerability and vicious querulousness without ever committing to either."^[3]

Music video
