Reception
Tim Sendra of AllMusic labelled "Somewhere in Neverland" as a surefire radio hit and one of three "album picks" for its "sweetly desperate romanticism."[1] The iTunes review for Don't Panic cited "Somewhere in Neverland" as an "unarguably catchy" album highlight, describing it as a "salient single that chugs on power pop chords [...] before triggering a chorus peppered with more barbed hooks than a tackle box."[3] Joseph Atilano of Inquirer.net praised Gaskarth's songwriting abilities on the song as well as the catchiness of the chorus, summarizing the song as "addictive".[4]
Music video
The music video for "Somewhere in Neverland" premiered on March 19, 2013.[2] Directed by Raul Gonzo, the video features the band escaping their boring work life through some "creative use" of a photocopier, with such scenes as a hot air balloon ride and a moon landing depicted on Xeroxed papers. MTV correspondent James Montgomery praised the video for being enjoyable in spite of its evidently limited budget: "Working with limited funds, they've managed to create a clip that's both funny and strangely sweet."[2]
