Style
Chris Payne, writing for Billboard called the track a symbol of the band's "lofty aspirations". Payne said that "Tom Smith’s baritone has a sweeping grandiosity to it, and the band hasn’t been afraid to put it to task. They’ve gone from rock to electro and back, and on the latest offering from their fifth studio album In Dream, these brash aspirations are on full display."[1]
