Paul Lester from
Melody Maker commented, "Imagine '
Daydream Believer' by
The Monkees via
The Prodigy's nucleartechno control panel." Simon Williams from
NME named it Single of the Week, adding, "Crunchy on the outside! And crunchy on the inside, too! Fact: 'Life Is Sweet' is so good it has just made a car crash in my street." Another
NME editor, Stephen Dalton, wrote, "Stumble out into the dawn streets with a still-buzzing
Tim Burgess on the glorious 'Life is Sweet', his choirboy voice royally f—ed up and slumped across a mere slip of melody." Helen Lamont from
Smash Hits gave it four out of five, saying, "This is weird. It's like
Black Grape meets
Leftfield, probably in
Berlin. It's full of strange industrial noises, like dodgy plumbing thumping away, with some bloke singing in the distance. It's not exactly an all-together-now sort of number, (unless you're someone who can get a tune from a lawnmower), but it's good all the same." == Music video ==
