Critical reception
Mike Diver of BBC described the song's chorus as "mindless – that it's practically a playground chant, designed to fit some variation on hopscotch or a hand-clap game practised by pigtailed pupils."{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/26m5|title=Various Artists - Almost Alice Review|website=BBC|date=March 1, 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100307041934/https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/26m5|archivedate=March 7, 2010|access-date=January 2, 2025}} Melinda Newman of HitFix called the track "sprightly" and "rhythmic."{{cite web|url=https://www.hitfix.com/blogs/the-beat-goes-on/posts/listen-almost-alice-soundtrack-takes-us-down-the-rabbit-hole-with-several-surreal-wonderful-tunes|title=Listen: 'Almost Alice' soundtrack takes us down the rabbit hole to prepare us for Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland'|website=HitFix|author=Melinda Newman|date=February 23, 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110810020540/https://www.hitfix.com/blogs/the-beat-goes-on/posts/listen-almost-alice-soundtrack-takes-us-down-the-rabbit-hole-with-several-surreal-wonderful-tunes|archivedate=August 10, 2011|access-date=January 2, 2025}} Gerhard Breda of Laboratório Pop called it "the true abyss" of the soundtrack, criticizing the track stating, "A mass of emo rock sound coated in pretension and followed by terrible pop recycled from the worst boy bands of the dawn of the 2000s."{{cite web|url=http://www.laboratoriopop.com.br/criticas/cd/almost-alice/213|title=Review: Almost Alice - Various Artist|website=Laboratório Pop|author=Gerhard Breda|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103234700/http://www.laboratoriopop.com.br/criticas/cd/almost-alice/213|archivedate=November 3, 2012|access-date=January 2, 2025}}
