Critical reception In a positive review of the song, Kid With a Vinyl said the track, "Doesn't sound like the work of a flustered student, but instead the work of a mature, seasoned professional, capturing the essence of what pure indie pop should be – echoed vocals, bright, textured synth, and a wonderfully bittersweet lyrical narrative somehow both wistful and hopeful all at once".
