Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating: "You won't find him trying to chase the devil/ For money, fame, for power, out of grief [sic]," Sandé insists of her morally righteous right-hand man over head-nodding beats and gospel-choir harmonies. Whether this mysterious entity is a lover, her faith or the music itself is never clarified, but one thing is for certain; if it inspires Sandé to write music of this standard, then her claims of perfection are rightly justified.
