Critical reception
Chris Deville from Stereogum praised the song saying, "Even at a time when it seems like every upstart on SoundCloud is pushing sparkly pan-genre synthpop, “OctaHate” stood out for its sleek exterior and the effortless manner in which it swung from playful sway to magnificent sweep".[9] The song was also given a positive review by Michelle Geslani of Consequence of Sound saying, " “OctaHate” is as catchy as a pop number can possibly hope to be. Between the twinkling xylophones, airtight melodies, and frothy beats, Weaver already sounds radio-ready, just in time for summer."[10]
