Critical reception

edit

Claire Shaffer of Rolling Stone wrote that the song "combines Beck's guitar-laden folk-pop with some quirky Pharrell additions: sci-fi synthesizers, calming bongos and staccato drum machines give it a distinctively space-age vibe".[6] Stereogum wrote that the song "could've easily been a pretty good Morning Phase-type song, but it keeps twisting and adding on more interesting musical choices, and it's all the better for it".[7]
