Critical reception

Kat Bein of Billboard called the track a "summer song with dance-pop appeal and island rhythm",[1] and said the track has "a certain richness to it, a sensual depth to counterbalance the catchy pop hook, a definite groove to get things heated as the sun goes down".[1]

Music video

The music video opens with a mock commercial for the late-night hotline "0-800-RING-RING", and features Mabel as a worker at a call centre, as well as shots of Jax Jones and Mabel dancing in hallways with light displays behind them; Rich the Kid does not appear.[2] Billboard compared its "vibes" to those of late 1990s and 2000s videos, calling it a "throwback", and acclaimed Jax Jones' and Mabel's outfits.[2]
