Another editor, James Hamilton, described it as a "Kraftwerk-ishly pulsed lengthily pausing 134.3bpm ethereal swirler". Stephen Dalton from NME named it Sherbed-Coated Single of the Week, writing that "it sounds less like the Hector's House theme at an under-fives rave — the standard Saints formula — than a sleek modern update of Abba's "Fernando", all Spanish guitar flurries and ill-fated lovers mooching around exotic locations." Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone declared it a "perfect" UK hit.
