Reception
Lachlan Kanoniuk from Beat Magazine described the song as "a tidy banger that doesn't shatter new ground, but hits the crest of previous years' wave of trends."[1] Greg Moskovitch from Music Feed said "[it's] destined to be one of the anthems of season for dance floors nationwide."[2] Stephanie Tell from The Music said the song "is a scintillating beast with a solid, satisfying breakdown to boot."[3] Everett True from The Guardian complemented the track for its "moments of bass pounding", but countered the compliment by saying the vocals are "lacking".[4]
