Critical reception

Jordi Pedra of Wiwibloggs wrote, "It's a mid-tempo piece that serves attitude and discusses the difficulties of love when things aren't working out anymore. Despite the relatively slow rhythm, the listener is drawn in by the song's message and the vocal delivery characterised by Nottet and Tesoro's distinctive voices. Loïc kicks things off with a powerful start, then Laura harmonises with him in the chorus before taking over as the song seamlessly flows into the second verse. As the end approaches, the duo meet again to explode in vocal perfection and sentiment."[4]
