Reddit users seem to enjoy the song, according to several comments.[13] The Daily Listening reviews The Beach as "I imagine “The Beach” to have a music video that involves the drowning of a soul of some sort, as the track gives off a hazy, defeated vibe – haunting us with the chorus, “I hope I don’t murder me / I hope I don’t burden you” – a notion that runs rampant throughout your mind when all you want is someone to be genuine with in a world of people hiding behind masks."[14]
