Critical reception
The A.V. Club writer Gwen Ihnat wrote "for those who prefer their Weezer less mellow, more rocking, it's the band's best song in years". Ihnat added "If the rest of Van Weezer sounds as joyously rocking as this keg-stand soundtrack, it could make Pinkerton an even more distant memory (blasphemy, we know). This is the kind of music the sign of the devil was made for, so enjoy."
