Reception

In an album review, Jon O'Brien from AllMusic liked the "'wooh-ooh' harmonies and infectious handclaps of the driving country-rock" song.[5] Larry Heath from The AU Review said he "enjoys" the song.[6]

gollark: Phones seem to continually be growing in size for no apparent reason and as someone with small hands it's quite annoying.
gollark: That sounds very finger-soreness-inducing.
gollark: Meh.
gollark: I was thinking more gesture input gloves emulating a keyboard.
