Critical reception

Alex Fletcher of Digital Spy gave "Hole in My Heart" four out of five stars, stating the song "takes off where 'The Spell' ended with a healthy serving of euphoric piano riffage and synth wooshes. Here the dual vocals of Anders SG and Stine Bramsen twist around the sort of hypnotic beat that will send you back to the big-fish-little-fish warehouse raves of 1991. Although it doesn't pack quite the same instant sugar rush as their debut album's bubblegum pop, 'Hole' is actually a more nourishing, enduring treat. It deserves far better than a nonchalant shrug from music fans—it should be gobbled up."[1]
