Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Mike Nied of Idolator stated, "he delivers some very romantic lyrics over a danceable beat." He also complimented the song by calling it the "best" single release he had in 2019, compared to "Why Don't We" and "Anxious".[6] Ivy Sandoval of Soundigest remarked, "This new single is the perfect upbeat song with a groovy rhythm that's sure to get you on your feet. It's an infectious beat, giving off a hint of '70s vibes, along with a modern beat of drums, guitars and his effortless falsettos."[7]
