Critical reception
Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song four out of five stars, stating, "Make no mistake, their debut single sounds like a chart invader. With its swooning chorus, inventive, disco-tinged production and lyrics that sound great even when they don't quite make sense, 'Left My Heart in Tokyo' is vintage Xenomania."[2] Fraser McAlpine of BBC's "Chart Blog" also rated the song four out of five stars and wrote, "What sets this apart from other generic acts of dance-pop [...] is the infectious energy that singers Frankee and Britt bring to it: whether it's snarling out the verses, purring the bridge, or vamping the chorus, I can't help thinking that recording this single sounds like it was a lot of fun, and it's the sort of fun that they're generously passing on to all of our ears."[3] The song was placed on BBC Radio 1's A-list.
