Critical reception

Music & Media wrote that De'Lacy "is set to take over Europe with the stompin' houser Hideway. Beguiling female vocals, deep bass sways, catchy percussion and anticipatory hesitance add up to a winner of a track." Muzik noted that the song "has the rare ability to hold its own in both the underground and commercial market places."
