Reception

[edit]

Pradeep Bharathi from Cultr said "The track opens up with piano chord progression and is followed with Dean's soothing and soulful vocals that brings the track altogether. The drop buildup has Kygo's signature style vocal chops and slowly evolves to powerful chill drop. Fans of both artists will be jamming to this single and will definitely love it."[1]

Samuel from EDM Tunes called the song "a sensational classic" saying "The track is filled with memorable lyrics and Kygo style piano rifts. It is a beautiful creation that continues Kygo's legacy of being the tropical house king."[2]
