Reception
When ranking the 20 best Twenty One Pilots songs, Kerrang! critic Sam Law ranked it number 12, stating that it "finds Tyler on desolate, defeated form, declaring 'I'm a goner' and pleading for someone to 'catch my breath'." commenting that the drumbeat "feels less like salvation than the final topple over the edge."[4]
