Critical reception
editThis song was met with critical acclaim. Musicperk.com rated the song 8/10 quoting "Pretty great track indeed"[2] Scandipop.co.uk lauded the song with "(n)ever dips below being a 9.5 out of 10 moment, not even for a second."[3] David Lim was impressed "splendid, with its percolating synths and drum ‘n’ bass beats – is such a relatable self-destructive break up track. It totally got me with its raw flares of frustration and desperation."[4] Higher Plain Music called the chorus of this song "epic."[5] EscXtra praised the song by calling it one of favorites of album due to "the excellent vocal in the chorus as well as the beat of the track."[6]
