Critical reception
AllMusic editor Alex Henderson described the song as "European-sounding" and noted that it's not "unlike something '80s dance duo Fun Fun would have done".[3] Larry Flick from Billboard described it as an "infectious and perky Euro-NRG twirler". He commented that the song is "solid" and "her performance is nothing short of star-powered."[4]
