BuzzFeed praised the "neon-hued" track, naming it one of the month's best songs. "Fitz and The Tantrums deliver another tight groove," said Baeble Music. "On top of a keen ability to make you bounce your feet and clap your hands, Fitz and The Tantrums have quite a knack for a catchy beat," noted Glamour, which invited co-lead singers Fitz and Noelle to curate the month's Listen With Us playlist.
