Critical reception

Swedish Göteborgsposten stated in their review of The Gods of Earth and Heaven, that the song is "another hit", adding it as a "schlager-built song with a fast rhythm".[1] A reviewer from Music & Media described it as "a souped-up version of 'fat' Elvis' 'My Boy'"[2] that "will definitely find the sun on its side. Beaches will not be the same anymore, and the charts will go topless..."[3]
