Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews upon its release. Spin called the song "sunny" and "spectacularly hooky," and noted the song's catchiness. Billboard commented that "Little Boots may have finally found a producer that can magnify her dance-pop sensibilities," going on to praise her coyness but criticize her "deadpan" delivery.
