The song received general acclaim from music critics. K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic called it "an immaculate disco glide," while Nick Levine of Digital Spy named it "a sun-dappled disco." Stuart McCaighy of "DIY" magazine wrote a very positive review, stating "It's an immediate and irresistible slice of pop. The song's pace and melody make the most of Sophie's deadpan delivery. This is modern pop with old time appeal - it sticks in the head and refuses to budge." Emily MacKay of Yahoo! Music commented: "It's an old-school Sophie handbag house with a soft icy melody and a simple, smart lyrical concept." Caroline Sullivan of "The Guardian" commented: "She excels herself on the delicious single Me and My Imagination, her disengaged presence helping (along with a walloping melody and frantic violins) to push the song to ecstatic heights." However, Kitt Empire of "The Observer" wrote that the song "tries to recreate the Ibizan bliss of her debut album "Read My Lips", but ends up more fake tan than sunkissed glow." Talia Kraine of BBC Music perceived that the song "recalled days of "Read My Lips"."
