Abbie Aitken of Clash described the song as a lo-fi mix founded on YouTube, writing, "the realism of the artificial rain, the soft jazz, and a curious phone alert swiftly followed by the sound of typing all add to a feeling of cosiness and familiarity."[4] As quoted from The Indian Express "the lyrics, they express the yearning to reunite with a beloved and stresses on the emotions associated with rainy days and the desire to mend things with someone special. The song includes lyrics like “Don’t tell me it’s over” and “We can start over”.[5]
