Critical reception

edit

Jem Aswad of Variety praised the release for being part of Sault's history of innovative releases and characterizes different movements of the song as a "power-trio version of a Bob Marley song" followed by "a piano-led ballad... with a gorgeous soulful chorus" and ending in "a gentle acoustic song".[3] In Paste, Rosa Sofia Kaminski also notes the three-act structure and praises the release for having a "story is told so intimately that it feels like it happened to someone you know".[4]
