Critical reception

Collin Robinson from Stereo Gum said; "Warped, whomping synth bass churns around intricate percussion for an updated ’80s-leaning aesthetic. James’ androgynous voice interjects with a catchy melody on the simple repeated refrain "In my heart, you were just a lover/ I can't bare for you to leave." All of the elements come together to make one hell of festival dance romp."[6]

Amber De Luca from Fashion Journal said; "Hayden James has come through and delivered. "Just A Lover" is the epitome of the ultimate Sunday sesh anthem."[7]

Aaron Blum from Indie Shuffle said; "Hayden James is back with another gem called "Just A Lover," and it's pretty dang amazing. The song picks up right where he left off, featuring that infectious deep groove."[8]
