The song received a lukewarm reaction from critics.[ 10] Vulture ' s Craig Jenkins wrote that the single "blends styles that sound fine alone but struggle to jell together ... such is the vastness of the space between the singers present".[ 11] Stacey Anderson ofPitchfork stated that the pop stars "meet at a lower creative common denominator than they've enjoyed lately" while adding that the song has "distinct flatness".[ 12] Writing forNME , Rhian Daly claimed it was "definitely not the follow-up toDestiny's Child 'sownCharlie's Angels theme " and that the collaboration was "far less potent".[ 13]
