Here is what people have had to say about the single...
"Joyous...should see him rise to ascendancy" (Drowned In Sound)
"Finally: a British singer-songwriter you don’t need to be ashamed about" Sprawled Magazine
"Initially appears like some frail and kooky yet homely softly strummed gem before magnificently morphing into a warming haze of beautifully encoded bubblegum pop that finds itself all at once bestriding all routes via the west coast psyche pop, 50’s drive in teen movies and 70’s glam...a rare touching beauty of some measure" Losing Today
