Natalie Salvo from Life Music Media opined it sat "somewhere between the pleasant, classic pop of Fleetwood Mac and the interesting layers that peppered Pajama Club's sound" with music that "accentuates Louiseās amazing and versatile voice."[3] Beat Magazine said "Boy is a warm, low-key tune with a dense landscape of synth notes and a metronomic rhythm" before calling the song "nice."[4] Purple Sneakers said "It's a song you can't help but fall in love with" saying "Her hushed vocal tones have the presence of Florence and the Machine and the delicacy of Bat For Lashes."[5]
