Julian Hamilton told Pedestrian TV "'Martini' was a dancer I used to know. She was everything I wasn’t – cool, clear, strong, and with a razor sharp edge I found impossible to resist. In the end, she left me completely undone; a crumbled wreck of a man. “But was it worth it?” I hear you ask…every second."[1]
The song was voted number 57 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2018.[2]
At the 2019 FBi SMAC Awards, the song was nominated for best song.[3]
Reception
In a live review of the group in June 2018, Chris Button from The AU Review called the song "one of the absolute highlights of the latest record. Particularly during the song's euphoric closing moments, when Hamilton's dreamy falsetto and piano reverb around the room, and each soul within it."[4]
