Critical reception

Bradley Stern of music blog Idolator described the song as "nothing short of an emotional triumph" and applauded the duo's artistic and emotional growth. "It's the sound of growing up," writes Stern, "still unsure, but soldiering on anyway — and they’ve captured it wonderfully in this promising first taste of what’s to come."[2] Timothy Monger at AllMusic complimented the stylistic layers to the duo's music, writing that "the massive hooks and neatly stacked vocals on standouts like "Mother & Father" and the kinetic "L.A.F." showcase the duo's command of enchanting and melodic indie electropop."[1]
