Reception
In an early review on their website, Canadian music magazine Exclaim! describes the song as if it could have come from the sessions for the uplifting 1992 album Wish. They went on to add that Smith sounds "happier than ever" and that the song is a return to the form that produced many of their Top 40 hits.[5] The Observer described the song as having all the ingredients of a classic Cure song by having "lovely spiralling guitars, glowing bass and Robert Smith at his giddiest".[6] Saying that the song sounds "like a pop single by The Cure", Pitchfork adds that the lyrics are not distinctive and goes on to say that the release will not make anyone forget the previous great singles from the band.[7]
