Critical reception

[edit]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media described the song as "a melancholic sound that is actually very British. Dreamy synthesizers carry a repetitive tune that some might consider a bit too monotonous fora single. Brave choice."[1] David Giles from Music Week stated, "The best track from the Happiness LP, which catches the duo in a rare soulful moment." He added, "Strong on melody and, because the vocals are subdued, it marks their final break from "indie" music. Whether it will sell – it is the fifth track from the album – remains to be seen."[2]
