## Reception

Sose Fuamoli from Triple J said "Heart on sleeve, weaving depth in through a simple arrangement that lands with one helluva emotional punch, Ruby has continued to operate in an indie rock space listeners of her music will be familiar but when that explosion of sound hits at the 03:04 mark, she truly shines under the spotlight."

Simon Clark from the AU Review call the song "stunning" saying "[it's] really beautiful stuff – understated initially, with a focus on Fields' vocals and lyrics, before a cathartic explosion of sound in the closing minute. There's a tinge of melancholy to the record, but it's never dour or overbearing, instead there is an emotional vulnerability to Fields' delivery that is endearing and reflects an ever increasing maturity to her songwriting."
