Critical reception
Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian described the song as "typically existentialist, Eeyoreish".[6] Lars Gotrich of NPR called the song "an electric piano boogie whirred to life by strings, the recognizably Smiths-y guitar tone and DJ scratching".[7] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph wrote that the song "boasted a vintage Morrissey construction in its flowing, easygoing melody over an urgent rhythm section, although with a fresh energy to the arrangement", and "constructed around a fast, almost Baroque keyboard line and psychedelic rhythm guitar" compared with "the sparkling indie guitars of The Smiths".[8] August Brown of Los Angeles Times opined that the song`s "electric piano-driven riff is a bit of a departure from [Morrissey`s] usual palette".[9] Caitlin Kelley of Billboard felt "the song opens with jangly electric piano, foregrounded by smokey synths".[10]
Matthew Oshinsky of Paste regarded it as "a peppy, organ-driven song about checking out from the news cycle and resisting the media narrative".[11] Sam Sodomsky of Pitchfork felt the song features "an electronic symphony of squelching synths".[12] Hayden Wright of CBS Radio described the song as a "plucky, upbeat track".[13] Winston Cook-Wilson of Spin felt the song is "driven by a snappy electric piano riff and wah-wah synths".[14]
Clara Kavanagh of Today FM wrote that the song "delivers us all the classic Morrissey magic with a new contemporary energy".[15] Corbin Reiff of Uproxx thought that the song "has an upbeat sort of vibe, with a chipper electric piano melody to propel it forward".[16] Robin Murray of Clash opined that "the jaunty electric piano riff adds fresh energy to Morrissey`s vocal".[17]
Promotional video
A promotional video was released on 17 October 2017, directed by Sophie Muller featuring Joey Barton pushing Morrissey around in a wheelchair, and a contemporary dance performance by avant-garde performance artiste David Hoyle.[18] The video was filmed at Peckham Liberal Club.[19]
