Shockandawe

Camille Augustin of Vibe felt the "feel-good track" will put listeners "in a good mood or transport you to the nearest fashion week runway as you strut down the street".^[4] Julia Pimentel of Complex wrote that the song "has a slightly different vibe" than normal expectations, and "it sounds a lot more rock-influenced".^[5] Patrick Lyons of Merry Jane deemed the song "a shorter and less radio-ready jam that gets Miguel back to the rock influence he explored on his last album".^[6] Beatrice Hazlehurst of Paper described the song as "Miguel's sexiest offering in a minute", and called it a "reminiscent of all those sweaty club nights and shooting glances across the dance floor".^[7] Corbin Reiff of Uproxx thinks that the song "has a distinct sultry vibe, fueled by a number of different guitar parts intertwined together".^[8] Rap-Up regarded the song as "a politically-charged banger that offers global commentary over genre-bending grooves".^[9] Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHop called the song "a funky and hypnotizing record", and opined that it is "definitely refreshingly new and out-of-the-box, something we like to hear from Miguel" instead of a "traditional R&B record".^[10] Tyler Schmitt of Variance described the song as "buoyant".^[11] Randall Colburn of Consequence of Sound referred the song to "a robust, pulsing track strung together with intertwining guitar lines and an urgent vocal melody that finds Miguel warning a partner".^[12]
