Sose Fuamoli from Triple J said "'Solid Gold' falls perfectly in line with Pnau's stable of bright and uplifting dance music."[6] Amnplify said "The song was inspired equal parts by Nick Littlemore's explorations into world music and the sun drenched energy of Australia, incorporating live instrumentation to create a richer, fuller sound. It's a banger built to soundtrack good."[7] auspOp put the song "straight into the pile of the year's best" calling it "a sparkling mid-tempo disco-pop number with pulsing beats, a sharp piano line and soulful vocals."[8]
