The song received positive reviews. Jamie Milton of
This Is Fake DIY called the song "a triumphant, brass-led addition to the record." David Owens of
Western Mail described the song as "a brass-infused
soul pop standard recalling
Dexys Midnight Runners and the heady days of
Motown," while inferring that "the new album sees the band utilising a more reflective, stripped-back sound."
Fact magazine wrote: "notably more buoyant than ‘Rewind The Film’, the song features some chirpy horn backing and a turn on the trumpet from Manics drummer Sean Moore." Michelle Geslani of
Consequence of Sound also noted the brass section, further commenting that "the band seeks inspiration and a little awe out of life."
Contactmusic.com stated that "the song is an upbeat, positive pop song but with questioning lyrics," while further elaborating that "the soaring horns and a joyous chorus makes it a stand out track on what is otherwise a delicate record." ==Notes==
