Reception
[edit | edit source]The single was well reviewed by music magazine The Fly who awarded the single 4 (out of 5) flies with the following review:
'In The Summer' sounds like Empire of the Sun taking on M.I.A. with uzi-like drum beats, optimism-laden lyrics ("Show me something wrong with the summer?") and an abundance of typically peculiar, thinking-outside-thebox explosions of electronica. Perfect.
— Harriet Gibsone, [8]
