Release and reception[edit | edit source]

The song received mostly negative reviews from critics. PopJustice stated "It's exciting seeing music finally from Kimono, even if it is just one member, but we were really hoping for something more than simply singing about a county in England with a dog, to the tune of an eleven year old song".
