Critical reception

Steve Baltin from

NME said the track "is actually a blinder — mighty banks of angels all giving it their best hosannas and these unreal whizzing effects giving you the impression that you're zooming through the clouds, en route to a meeting with the great man himself."[7] Another NME editor, Ben Willmott wrote in the magazine's Vibes cloumn, "More very commercial party techno from Moby — this is no doubt chartbound",[8] while Johnny Cigarettes noted its "sweeping melancholy".[9]
