Critical reception
Kat Bein of Billboard felt that the song has a "cool R&B sound". He continued: "Some low-key tropical touches add to the lazy summer haze. It also doubles as dope makeup inspo."[3] Marcus of EDM Sauce opined that the song is "elegantly crafted and natural", has "an R&B feel" and "some killer melody".[4] Matt F of HotNewHipHop thinks that Snakehips brought "their brand of catchy pop flavor" to the song and Anne-Marie's "soft, melodic tones are contrasted nicely" with Joey Badass' "gruffer, deeper delivery". He regarded the song as "another solid entry into the current musical zeitgeist for Snakehips".[5] Steph Evans of Earmilk described the collaboration as "a summertime pop jam that we'll remember".[6] Jordan Farley of Run The Trap wrote: "The sultry single bounces catchy vocals between Anne-Marie and Joey Badass over a silky future pop beat and is instantly captivating in its elegant beauty."[2] Kevin Apaza of Direct Lyrics wrote that the song is "so good" and "so catchy".[7]
