Critical reception

Ailbhe Malone of The Irish Times called the song "a turned-up banger, similar to 'We Can't Stop' by Miley Cyrus", but also claiming that it had a "layer of modernist gloss" due to the input of Sophie.[9] Laura Snapes of Pitchfork described the song's "neon nihilism and aggressive self-possession are the drivers of Charli's career rather than its destructors" and commented on Charli's vocals at the end of track beginning to "slip and stutter".[10] NME named it the tenth best song of 2016 on their year-end list.[11]
