Reception

''Robert Copsey'' from the entertainment website Digital Spy gave to the song four stars out of five, saying: "Fortunately, the track - much like the video - is the very definition of a summer party stomper. Reswizzled with extra blips and beats from the album version, you'll barely have time to knock back your G&T before the urge to hit the dancefloor kicks in, largely thanks to a chorus that doesn't so much encourage you to raise your arms in the air as ''command'' it.".All Night Long review by Robert Copsey
