Critical reception
[edit]In a retrospective review of the song, Steven J. Horowitz from Vulture called the song "a drumline knocker released via an Amazon Echo commercial. It's more in line with the late-era, party-starting fare of [Elliott's] catalogue, with bits of bounce thrown in for good measure."[3]
