Upon its release, the song drew both favorable and mixed assessments from music critics.

[1] The song's chorus includes the lyrics "I use mouthwash, sometimes I floss, I've got a family and we drink cups of tea", while in its verses Nash "lists various parts of herself and explains why you can't break her".

Writing for that outlet, critic Fraser McAlpine wrote that he would have awarded the song five stars, except for the fact that he considered the song inferior to other Made of Bricks tracks (including "Foundations," "Merry Happy," and "We Get On").

[6] Nash performed with the touring cast of Starlight Express on both occasions, who learned two new routines for the video.
