Critical reception
Fraser McAlpine of the BBC Chart Blog gave the song a positive 5-star review stating that it would serve as an "amazing Christmas carol equivalent" for a 'winterval' type holiday, as "it's quietly optimistic, pleased without being smug, melancholy but uplifting" and "sure of itself, but only because all the lessons learned have been hard-won, and generally reflective of times gone by".[2]
