[edit] Reception
Critics worldwide were generally positive about the song, saying it "takes us back to the 80's sound".
Duncan Greere from Popjustice was positive on the song saying:
"Fear not, Eurythmics, your 'Sweet Dreams' synth-line is alive and well and being looked after by Stefy - a four-piece from Orange County, California. Stefy's debut single, 'Chelsea', is great stuff. It spins the classic pop storyline of regret, longing and another woman stealing your bloke, all poured out over a stomping, dark electro-pop backing. It's baffling, however, how Stefy can still use the word 'maybe' when describing the wisdom of leaving her guy with another girl. Especially as she gives us this line about how the nasty other girl, "called me when you were kissing / so I could hear what I was missing". Girls can be so mean to each other."
He gave it 88/100.
Alex MacGregor from UKMIX also was extremely positive on the song.
"Those who bought the fantastic Pop! Justice compilation album last year will have already heard of this new band, who Peter Robinson described as 'Blondie re-imagined for the post "OC" generation'. Fronted by Californian singer Stefy Rae, and sounding like Gwen Stefani and Debbie Harry duetting on a rendition of Rachel Stevens' "Negotiate With Love", "Chelsea" is the first great pop single of 2007. It deserves to be massive. Oh, and get the album as well, it's fab."
He gave it a 5/5.
