Indie music blog Pigeons & Planes said that the song is "a little more than an organ, some ambient strings, and Fe's soft, pillowy voice cooing in your ear."
[4] Clyde Barretto of Prefixmag.com described the song as "sweet and chilling as vanila ice cream".
[5] Music blog My Day By Day Music wrote, "daring you to kiss the mist, Fe's icy vocals whisper majestically from her latest track 'Mother Russia', pining seductively beneath a whirlwind of haunting choral synths, echoey vocals and twinkling chimes.
