Reception
Dave Thompson from AllMusic wrote, that the song "sets the scene, a sultry post-blues number infused with just enough of Titiyo's trademark dance sensibility to mask (but never bury) the distinctly PJ Harvey-esque feel of the song itself". Mila Kravchuk from Ukrainian music website @music noted: "We fell in love with this sluggish blues melody, stretching like a molasses, with equal, rhythmic stresses. [...] It's as if this tune was brought from the old gramophone record by Robert Johnson".
