Reception edit
Digital Spy gave the song three out of five stars, claiming the song's "electro beats and string samples are subtler and more graceful than Timbaland's chunky wallops" and "the ultra-confident and cliché-packed lyrics, though not to everyone's tastes, are refreshingly unpretentious."[1]
