Critical reception

In a review for NME, Nick Reilly said, "The emotional thread gets a lot more serious during the final third, notably on the soft cut 'Hold My Girl', which sees Ezra ditching the twanging guitars for his most soul-baring song yet – one destined to become first-dance material."[4]

Music video

A lyric video to accompany the release of "Hold My Girl" was first released onto YouTube on 9 March 2018 at a total length of three minutes and thirty-five seconds.[5] This was followed by a stripped back performance of the track at Abbey Road Studios being uploaded a week later on 16 March 2018. The official music video for the single will be released in Autumn 2018.
