Reviews

Musicomh gave a positive review saying that "With the help of Erol Alkan they convey this in sweeping, romantic gestures that wouldn't have been out of place in the charts in the 1980s - yet thanks to the producers's intervention sound bang up to date" and went onto say "With a melody that won't be leaving your brain for some time, this is one of the Jets' poppiest offering yet, given a dash of camp attitude to complete a memorable single".

Neumagazine gave the song 9 out of 10 stars. They said that it is "A homage to the 80s, rather than a piss-take, the light hearted synths and classic 'love story lyrics' make this a very fun track" and went onto say "It's the kind of nostalgia we actually like. The video is a rather enjoyable as well".

Music video

On YouTube the video has been watched over 1,000,000 times. The video starts off with Blaine Harrison, William Rees, Kai Fish & Kapil Trivedi surrounded by two women in different backgrounds. They then show the girl playing drums whilst Rees, Fish & Trivedi look through the window. And then the Harrison and the girl talk on the phone. He then points to a place on the globe. They then play their instruments in different places whilst the girl is still in her house. After repeating these it shows her dancing somewhere with a yellow background. It then shows the Harrison on a motor bike and when it comes to the chorus they do what they did last time. Then they do the same things they've done throughout the video until the end. Throughout the video they wear very eighties clothes this is because the song has an eighties theme.
