Reception

[edit]

Tom Williams from Music Feeds said the song mixes "eastern melodies with some heavy-as-hell drum kicks, as Pavey’s vocals glide over the top."[2] Sosefina Fuamoli of The AU Review said Blue's vocals had "an icy edge" while also stating "onward pushing electro beats pulsate deeply".[3] Joseph Smith of Stoney Roads stated "Vera Blue's vocal range is simply phenomenal, and she flaunts this effortlessly on top of Slumberjack’s hard-hitting, synth-heavy production that acts as a brilliant foundation."[4] Farrell Sweeney of Dancing Astronaut said the track was "heavy enough to appeal to future bass lovers along with progressive house/pop lovers".[5]
