Critical reception
Kip Kirby of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that the tune "lives up to his own imagery" even though he didn't write it. He goes on to say that the "clean, easy-tempo arrangement leaves proper space for hearing the singer's thoughtful comparison of a woman to astral attractions."[2]

gollark: I complained to my MP when the government did some particularly egregious thing... complaining about end to end encryption on the news again, or something... and got a response back... from some random minister... by letter... two weeks later... which did not address anything I said and was related only in that my email and their response were both vaguely about encryption.
gollark: Er, act. Not bill.
gollark: *cough*investigatorypowersbill*cough*
