Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian called it the "song of the summer" and wrote, "this ode to the joy of dancing shows how masterful each MC is at moving with a beat". Beaumont-Thomas also felt that the "Afrobeats rhythm by producer P2J is nimble and fleet of foot", characterising the song as being "about the very pleasure of dancing, in particular dancing close to someone hot".[3] Eric Brain of Hypebeast felt that the "track pulls heavily from J Hus' afroswing sounds, something the Stratford, London-born-and-bred rapper has pioneered".[1] Tomás Mier also described the track as a "sweet summery Afroswing bop".[2]
