 Reviewing the single for Drowned in Sound, Jordan Dowling called it "a mammoth of a track" and a "high-octane rocker", claiming that it "sounds fresher than the majority of its genre-crossing, boundary pushing competitors".In a review of "Wolfmother" for the "NME", James Jam suggested that the song "tick[s] the requisite boxes for all great rock'n'roll – raucous, righteous and totally, thrillingly dumb".PopMatters writer Adrian Begrand outlined that the track "sounds like uninspired garage rock at first, but quickly kicks into gear a grooving riff, and then downshifts into an ear-splitting breakdown".
