[7] Speaking about the album, Danz said that she went through an existential crisis: she experienced feelings of self-doubt, went through an extreme low, was about to break and contemplated the human existence.

[8] Reviewing this song, The Electricity Club mentioned: "Capturing a sombre electronic disposition, 'Idea of You' develops on the darkness that was apparent on the last Computer Magic album Danz with its self-referencing title a pointer of things to come.

[12] The Revue gave the album a positive review and mentioned that "Johnson's synth-heavy approach remains, though she probes darker spaces and more cinematic arenas than before to reflect her journey.

"[13] The synthpop site The Electricity Club praised the album and concluded that "what is in its place is a more intense presence and a wider ambition exploring different music styles and timbres while still remaining at its core, the creation of a talented woman who has overcome her shyness and had the courage to engage with and learn from some of the biggest names in synth.

[16] They mentioned that the songs "simultaneously recall the dance music of the early '80s and imagines a modern, digitized future, filled with synths that are strangely both warm and icy" and concluded that "this is the synth-driven record you need in 2021".
