Alice Juster from MusicFeeds said the song "is romantically haunting, featuring vocals from both Jordi Davieson and Scarlett Stevens, who launches into a bright and dreamy chorus."[4]
Dan Stubbs from NME called the song "blissful and filmic, with [a] throbbing emoti-bass and spooky-kid vocals in the chorus."[3]
Rebecca Clough from The Digital Fix called it "the catchiest chorus you'll have heard for a while".[5]
Paul Lester from The Guardian said, "'[Beach]' opens with a keyboard chord that is pure 'Africa' by Toto, suggestive of chill-wave opulence, but when the song gets going it becomes an indie singalong, albeit one with a kick."[2]
Music video[edit]
The music video premiered on 31 October 2012.[6] It was filmed on Brighton Beach and was directed by Ruskin Kyle.[7][1]
