Critical reception

Miranda Sawyer from Smash Hits noted Pauline Henry's "remarkable voice" and described the song as "classy" in her review of The Chimes.[3]

gollark: Wait, *snapped* your iPhone?
gollark: It's generally possible to run LineageOS on at least some cheap Android devices, which is nice as I do not have to suffer the horrors of the manufacturer's software.
gollark: I've never actually lost any, I think my last one died due to a nonfunctional touchscreen and the one before that due to a defect with the charging port.
gollark: I mostly just buy cheap (~£120) phones, which means repair is hard but at least they can be replaced cheaply in two years when they inevitably break.
gollark: Something like that? In any case, it was allegedly vaguely better somehow but made repairs cost more.
