Critical reception
[edit | edit source]According to Danny Golpanian from Dancing Astronaut, "Cobra" "exhibits Hardwell’s power driven synths that give the track its anthemic boundaries."[2] 7 years after the release of "Cobra", Jake Gable from We Rave You considered that "Cobra" "fused vibrant chord patterns with rich hooks to create a huge festival thumper."[3] Further, for the 10th anniversary of the track, Dylan Smith from EDM House Network gives a good review, claiming that "Cobra" "is a more than worthy successor to all previous chart-stormers, kicking in with a big chord theme and building an explosive amount of tension — till it all breaks and the climax unfolds an electro bassline monster, unexpected but fierce and powerful just like a Cobra. The track’s finale lets all elements come together, making 'Cobra' a sure-shot at dance floor damage."[4]
