Pitchfork described his vocals as "assured," and NPR Music called it "an infectious celebration of sexual desire." NPR also emphasized the importance of the song and music video displaying Sivan's sexual confidence, writing, "It's not every day you see a young, skinny, queer kid get to be completely himself in a music video, and Sivan makes us want to dance along with him." Sivan debuted the song live for the first time on Saturday Night Live on January 20th, as a musical guest in an episode hosted by Jessica Chastain.

The singer says these portrayals are important to him, especially when he remembers "such vivid memories of the few times I saw any type of LGBTQ relationship on TV or in music videos" when he was younger.
