Critical reception
Pete T. of Rapreviews.com called the song "aimed for a young and even female listenership but doesn't undermine the rest of the album; in fact, it's a rather likable track and a welcome display of versatility from the normally dark narrator".[6]
gollark: If he *isn't* telling people about his data gathering escapades then he may not receive the appropriate complaint volume, so maybe I should just *assume* he's looking up someone's data at random times and complain?
gollark: I'd prefer him to not do it *at all* over doing it and telling them, and would prefer doing it and telling them over doing it and not telling them.
gollark: Hmm. Well. I would prefer if Nobody *told* people if he was trying to find datas on them, and if he succeeded.
gollark: What thing? That he would do the same stuff more ominously?
