I do like the song lyrically as well."[4] Kriston McConnell of Under the Gun Review gave a mixed review complimenting the song for its "catchy, repetitive chorus," however was critical of the songs creativity. She ended off stating, "it's definitely fun and I certainly look forward to hearing what else they have in store for us, but I do not feel this is the best song they have put out in recent years."[9] A staff writer at The Music magazine wrote that it is "a safe place for EDM lovers." However, criticized the overall execution and called the track "bland and boring."[3]
