Reception
Reid McCarter of The A.V. Club described the song as being "catchy as hell" but also "littered with goofy references to the Sonic games"; he wrote the music video to it was "while incredibly dumb, is a cornucopia of hilarious imagery". Napier Lopez of The Next Web wrote that the song had a "surprisingly chill groove", while also noting the recurring sounds of ring jingles and pixelated art present in the song's music video. Emma Kent of Eurogamer also described the chorus as "surprisingly catchy".
