Critical reception
Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
On which Artwork, Benga and Skream - the commanding triptych of Croydon clubland, if you will - team up with nine-time Grammy Award winner John Legend to reaffirm what the James Blake album has recently suggested - that dubstep can possess genuine gets-you-in-the-guts soul.
