Critical reception
[edit | edit source]"Blessa" received positive reviews from critics. The Guardian described the track as "hazy summer sounds with a New Jack shine, as if Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced the Cocteau Twins,"[1] with Pitchfork describing "Blessa" as "just like one of [Toro y Moi's] spontaneously snapped photos of a hazy afternoon that quickly captures a sentiment and bottles it, culminating yet another piece of Toro Y [sic] Moi's life collage."[2]
Music video
