Iain Mew: Becky Hill climbing out of a relationship and up into the heavens on steps made of “Likey” was good. I’m just not sure it was good enough to need it again less than a year later.

Scott Mildenhall: Like a woman who’s worn a baseball cap too tight for too long, Becky Hill has extricated herself from Sigala, yet seems to think he’s still there. Granted, Becky Hill on auxiliary autopilot is better than most — that’s why she’s enlisted for it so often — but it’s a shame that her first solo top 40 hit shows little of the individuality she’s capable of. From the title down, the irony is iron-plated — this pales into comparison with “Wish You Well”.

Alfred Soto: When the steel drum preset tinkles beneath the title hook, I swear it’s 2014. Becky Hill brings nothing except nostalgia for an era of Eurothump missed by no one.

Michael Hong: Becky Hill belongs to a specific group of British women singers: those bright soulful voices that choose producers who enjoy overshadowing them with bland drops that render their voices anonymous.

Thomas Inskeep: In the same ballpark as Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now,” a fine 2020 uptempo house-pop kiss-off (rooted, as all of ’em are, in “I Will Survive”) strongly sung. And Shift K3Y give this a great build to the chorus. Deserves to be as big a hit as Lipa’s smash, too.

Will Adams: The opening plucks and atmospheric pads evoke a nice, trance delicateness, eventually blown to bits by that same house wallop. It’s not bad, but it’s not innovative, and not helped by sounding way more cluttered than par.
