Critical reception

In an album review, George Fenwick from The New Zealand Herald called the song "A joyous track that swells and shines like an adolescent crush. Djeisan Suskov's twangy guitars gleam as bright as the title suggests, as Benee simply asks someone to hang out with her."[3]

Alison Gallagher from Music Feeds called the song "a hazy, reverb-soaked yet deceptively energetic bop."[1]
