{{quote|"We started the idea — again, the way we always do is with one of Josh's beats. I grabbed it from him and added some weird shit, and from there we moved it into the studio, where we decided to collaborate with some other people. It turned out to be a really awesome thing and we're really proud of it and really pumped for everyone to hear it."}}

The song was met with positive reviews from music critics. Pryor Stroud of PopMatters described the track as, "Dynamic, subtly sinister, and glazed with both breezy melodics and fuzzed-out synths." He also added, "it's a blistering synth-rock standoff with our culture of outsized desires and uninhibited excess." Gregory Adams of Exclaim! remarked, "The cut rides along on a juicy, near-New Jack Swing-styled drum loop and fuzz-heavy synth lines. Above this, Sarah Barthel tunefully ruminates on teeth-shedding dreams, not being a homebody and taking note that certain parts of her life aren't as potent as they once were."{{cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/phantogram-you_dont_get_me_high_anymore|title=Phantogram - "You Don't Get Me High Anymore"|website=Exclaim!|author=Gregory Adams|date=June 15, 2016|access-date=January 4, 2024}} DIY described the song as, "another slab of chopped-up, effortlessly sharp pop."
