Q published in their preview of Mylo Xyloto:[3]
- "Harking back to the title track of their debut album, U.F.O is a melancholic interlude, Chris Martin's acoustic plucks joined by the swirl of strings halfway through, resembling a more saccharine take on Radiohead's Faust Arp. The escapism-themed lyrics ("let's fly/ split the sky...") explain the title, just in case you were wondering if Chris Martin was about to grow a beard and start picketing outside Area 51 with Robbie Williams."
