The song was consistently positive criticism. Said Joe Robinson of diffuser.fm that even the instrumental version is very suitable with their bass grooves for dancing, but Ways vocals to the song give what little mainstream that was needed. He forgave seven out of ten stars.
Caitlyn Dewar explained by Bring the Noise that Deadmau5 with a mix of creative lyrics, a talented Gerard Way and his own style is definitely more " hip " and stay on top of the world when it comes to the dance direction, and that fans of My Chemical Romance, Skrillex or Daft Punk would like. They awarded nine out of ten stars.
An author of MusicHub awarded ten stars, and thus a perfect score. Professional Griefers have increased the hype for his new album as one of the great singles again. The song would " in no time " to hit.
