Reception

Hayden Davies fromThe Music called it a "bouncy, creamy pop song". Davies said "Allday adds an interesting dynamic to what would otherwise be a straight-out pop single that takes influence from the increasing merging of dance and hip hop... And it's all wrapped around a bounding bass line and chunks of piano that has a catchy atmosphere which is sure to bounce around in your head for days."

Staff Writers from Scenestr called it an "80s-drenched collaboration".
