Critical reception

edit

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song three stars out of five, stating that Stryder "and the Grime music trio's frontman/serial "Dappy hat's" offender Dappy split rhymes that reminisce on how far they've come in the biz [...] over a watery stew of club beats and pulsating synths that lack any real oomph or lyrical resonance. Not to worry, Tinch, there's always that rainy day fund, right?"[1]

Music video

edit

The music video was filmed in Portofino, Liguria, North-Western Italy, by United Kingdom directors Kwasi Danquah III, Luke Monaghan & James Barber, to accompany the release of "Spaceship".
