Reception

edit

Lachlan Kanoniuk from Beat Magazine said "The new track from Angus & Julia Stone is superpowered in its insipidness, immune to criticism by virtue of commanding 100 per cent focus during listening due to its sheer un-remarkability, then by its resoundingly unmemorable nature, it's impossible to retain any knowledge of the track while putting pen to paper."[3]
