Critical reception

Nanci Dagg of Canadian Beats Media said the track "has an upbeat melody and delightful lyrics – the kind you want to dance to and sing along with, no matter where you are when you’re listening to it" and a "love song that catches you right from the get-go, wants you to get lost in the presence of someone new in your life. It’s an unanticipated excitement that you feel when you do and these brothers have captured that in this song."[5] Cashbox Canada wrote that the song is "an upbeat, addictive track that captivates the listener" with "the brothers’ brilliantly-synched harmonies".[6]
