Critical reception
Sound and Motion Magazine gave the song a positive review. They state "From the tones, the rhythms, the vocal delivery, it’s all there, if it’s been in a Chevelle song, any Chevelle song, it somehow got crammed into here, with a few minor, minor twists. Yet still sounds fresh and invigorating." They conclude that the track leaves you wanting more.[1] Loudwire ranked it the fourth greatest Chevelle song.[5]
