Critical reception
Tyler Golsen in his review called the song "almost blindingly bright and exuberant", which groovy disco thump radiates summer energy.{{cite web|first=Tyler|last=Golsen|url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/diana-ross-and-tame-impala-play-it-safe-on-turn-up-the-sunshine/|title=Diana Ross and Tame Impala play it safe on 'Turn Up the Sunshine'|website=Far Out Magazine|date=May 19, 2022|access-date=April 8, 2023}} Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote that "Turn Up the Sunshine" sounds like Antonoff and Parker are trying to recreate the euphoria of the music that Diana Ross and Chic recorded together in 1980, and that it is "a big, shiny dance-pop track with a utopian chorus and some nasty low-end work".{{cite web|first=Tom|last=Breihan|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2187218/diana-ross-turn-up-the-sunshine-feat-tame-impala/music/|title=Diana Ross – "Turn Up The Sunshine" (Feat.
