Receptions

[edit]

Tim Sendra of Allmusic was positive on it and picked it as one of the highlights of the album.[2] Michael Hann of The Guardian was also positive on the song and called it: "romance with the afterlife".[3] Now found it good as an opening track of the album and said: "the London quartet waste no time setting up the parameters of their sound".[4] Consequence of Sound connected the song to the band's later single Beachy Head and said: "On the deceptively upbeat "Found Love in a Graveyard", Veronica Falls tell the tale of falling for a ghost, and dips into surf-rock on the irresistible "Beachy Head", an ode of longing for a popular suicide locale".[5] NME focused more on the vocal of the song and said: "even as vocalist Roxanne Clifford swoons longingly at ghosts in "Found Love In A Graveyard".[6] Pitchfork gave a mixed review to the song and said: "it starts out rather dark before popping with energy".[7]
