Critical reception[edit]

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

Shingai Shoniwa sings about a blossoming romance over a peppy, toe-tapping melody that evokes the golden era of surf rockers The Beach Boys and The Honeys. Like a glass of Sex on the Beach, the result is instantly refreshing and guaranteed to loosen those hips. .[3]
