Critical reception

Rob Copsey of Official Charts Company wrote that the song "sounds like summer", "sees Icona Pop sticking to what they know best, i.e, great, big, stomping neon pop, albeit with a deep/tropical house edge to it this time out" and "ends in such an abrupt way that you'll want to put it straight back on." Similarly, Raisa Bruner of Time magazine also noted it "sounds like summer" and regarded the song as "a club-ready groove mixing their signature singalong choruses with a tropical house edge". Mike Wass of Idolator said that the song is "a soaring tune" and "a club-ready, pop-centric party anthem that really should be blasting out of every radio over the summer". Lilian Min of HelloGiggles said the song has "an excellent bubbly beat and a refreshing femme-centric vibe".[2]
