Critical reception
John Robinson of The Guardian gave the song a positive review stating:
"Laura Mvula has a voice like the Queen has a house: classy, and so big she doesn't need to use all of it at once. This very good debut single is duly a masterclass of restraint [...] the minimal, chiming repetitions of the production and Mvula's understated Nina Simone delivery are as much the key to the song's success as the eventual gospel explosion of the chorus."[3]
Heat gave the song four stars out of five, calling it a "soulful tune".[4]
