Critical reception

Popjustice said of the song "[It's] a confident, dignified comeback single with a big chorus" and adding that: " 'Bodies' sounds like Robbie and Trevor Horn bringing out the best in each other - in this case 'the best' equalling a big comeback single from Britain's best male popstar."[5]
