Reception
In an album review, Andrew Nock from Music Feeds said "First single off the album 'Longtime' is a killer track, with a guitar hook so catchy and infectious, it's impossible not to feel incredibly happy and upbeat stomping your foot and grooving out to it. Such a funky sound resonates through the song by incorporating many guitar loops, with varying effects and multiple percussive elements." adding "The vocal distortion in the chorus between powerful lyric, 'Thought I was high but I was barely alive', makes it difficult to distinguish between Ash's hummed voice and guitar, inadvertently creating an incredibly infectious hook".[6]
