Critical reception

Kate Mossman of the New Statesman wrote: “Its opening has a West End feel, like Evita‘s tentative address to the masses, but then it whizzes with a ‘Dancing Queen‘ mirrorball glissando into squelchy 1980s disco, giving the impression it’s going to be straightforward. But then it mutates, and mutates into something wonderful and strange.” Jon Pareles of The New York Times is similarly positive, calling the song “a strutting march with gleaming orchestration and scrubbing disco guitars, stolid and earnestly tuneful.”
