Reception

The A.V. Club noted the "unabashed '70s slow-jam camp of 'Something About You,' complete with a whispered 'so sexy'—delivered totally straight-faced",[3] The Fader wrote "'Something About You' is a smitten indie soft-rock ballad"[4] while Loud and Quiet noted "very little can prepare you for the sleazy French noir porno whispers of 'Dom Perignon' on the happy-go-lucky 'Something About You (feat. Dent May)'."[5]

"Something About You" went viral in the US with Rolling Stone citing the track as the fastest-rising song on American streaming services for the week ending September 23.[6] This was the third Eyedress single to become a viral hit in 2021 with "Jealous" and "Romantic Lover" going viral on TikTok earlier in the year.[7] On 14 December 2021, "Something About You" charted at number thirty one on the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart.
