Critical reception Michael Cragg of ''The Guardian'' gave the song a positive review, while noting the mood differences between the song and a previous Chvrches track, "Lies". He wrote that the song "tempers the monster synth riffs in favour of twinkling keyboards, padded drum claps and a central lyric that lends the whole thing a slightly melancholic edge."

Sessions inspired by stripped-down and reworked live performances yielded the 2008 mini-album, '' Here, It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did''.
