Reception

Emily Mack from Music Feeds called the song a "“bonkers” half-schoolyard singalong, half-tribal dancefloor toe-tapper"[3] Amnplify called the song a "festival favourite and dance floor anthem"[4] Monique Hughes from Howl and Echoes described the song as "a big, kaleidoscopic, addictively-catchy party single".
