'' magazine acclaimed the song for its "healthy blend of pop sensibilities, R&B sultry vibes and a low-key electro beat", saying it has "all the makings of a cool summer sleeper hit, if not a serious smash. On his latest release, Jonas seems to mimic Drake’s vocal style when he slows things down and sings on an R&B/pop track, which usually turn out to be the most successful for the chart-topper." Erica Russell of Popcrush called the song a groovy and sexy slice of mildly tropical pop. The trio's smooth vocals intertwine seamlessly as they trade verses and merge on the chorus.
