Critical reception
Chris Reynolds of Gigwise.com awarded the single 4.5/5 stars, calling the single "a new high" and "jerky, fast paced and exciting not to mention supremely catchy".[1] Maps magazine was also enthusiastic, calling it "Two and a half minutes of furious foot tapping, radio-friendly brilliance with a skronky guitar breakdown and Xylophone chimes chucked in for good measure".[2] John Sakamoto of the Toronto Star called it "the most exhilarating 2:22 of the week".[3] Daniel Ross of Drowned in Sound, meanwhile, gave the single a 5/10 rating, opining that the band "sound in dire need of a few months in glorious isolation, somewhere where they can purge themselves of their flailing clutches at influences".[4] Gareth K. Vile of The Skinny was also not impressed, and in his view the single lacked "much sincere urgency, originality or imagination".[5]
Miscellanea
"Leigh-On-Sea" won BBC 6 Music's Rebel Playlist competition with the highest number of listener votes in the poll's history, according to host Steve Lamacq. [1]
