Critical reception

IndieLondon gave the song four out of five stars, and named it single of the week. They said it "captures The Wombats' innate ability to contrast uplifting sounds with darker lyrical themes" and is "arguably the best release yet from the band's current album".[2]

gollark: I don't trust the legal system to handle this stuff remotely sensibly in practice.
gollark: Yes, and I'm saying it should be used more.
gollark: Even static typing is an example of detecting and stopping some classes of mistake.
gollark: PERFECT issue detection would be, PARTIAL stuff already exists.
gollark: I mean, when someone finds out about an exploit and it's known about, you can fix it. The legal system getting involved probably won't help there. You need issues to be detected in a testing phase or ideally during compilation.
