Reception

[edit | edit source]

Al Newstead from Triple J said "'Exactly How You Are' is free of the more melancholy shades that coloured the Brisbane group’'s last album. Instead, it embraces warm melodies and a feel-good, catchy chorus of 'I love you exactly how you are'."[1]

Hayden Davies from Pilerats said of the song "it's a sun-soaked, summery anthem which will no doubt soundtrack our lives as we head into the warmer months".[4]
