Critical reception
Upon release, Matt Collar of AllMusic described the song as "buoyant '60s girl group-infused", which "retain[s] all of the duo's bright and infectious lyricism". David Smyth of the London Evening Standard commented that the song "sounds like a golden hit and a startling departure from the Gothic Americana that made their name". Molloy Woodcraft of The Guardian considered the song "catchy" and highlighted the "Florence-esque bass drum and handclaps".

Lisa-Marie Ferla of The Arts Desk commented that the song was a "gorgeous drive-time radio ballad in the best of ways, all hand claps and huge choruses". Lauren James of Contactmusic.com noted the song's use of "handclaps, high production and heart-rending harmony". Andy Baber of MusicOMH wrote: "While tracks such as "Believe in Me" and "Elements" are perfectly serviceable, neither is likely to stick in the mind long after it comes to an end."
