Critical reception
Tom Howard from NME gave the song a positive review stating, "The best thing about Haim is that the songs they write are 100 per cent bullshit-free. Los Angeles sisters Danielle, Este and Alana Haim sing proper vocals and play proper guitars and give their drums a right proper thwacking and don’t try to do or be anything, they just let it happen. As easy and natural and obvious as the gradual transformation of ewe’s milk into a nice big block of Roquefort."[3]
