Reception

Norman Records' review stated that the song was a "pretty bland commercial indie pop that does little in the way of entertaining."[3]

Spins David Peisner states "On the charging, anthemic "Dancefloor", co-frontman Alfie Jackson dissects a night out clubbing in withering emotional detail.[4]

NME states "Like an octogenarian boxer coming out for one last fight, The Holloways serve up the sweaty chips after the disappointment of each of their songs that isn’t "Generator". It’s still the same night-on-the-tiles larks."[5]

Popmatters described it as being "infectious, Futureheads-meets-The Clash".[6]
