Critical reception
[edit]Writing for NME, in a review, Kyann-Sian Williams noted that the track has an "afroswing sound" which "isn’t DBE’s signature sound."[3] He continued to note that the track "has a bland beat to rap over," however, the "lyrics are endearing."[3] He states that Young Adz' "comical wit keeps the interest."[3]
Music video
[edit]The William Thomas-directed music video is seen to be filmed in Paris and shows both artists "daydreaming about their ideal worlds."[2]
