Critical reception

[edit]

Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

On which Artwork, Benga and Skream – the commanding triptych of Croydon clubland, if you will – team up with nine-time Grammy Award winner John Legend to reaffirm what the James Blake album has recently suggested – that dubstep can possess genuine gets-you-in-the-guts soul. [1]
