  ## Promotion

  ## Critical reception
  
  The BBC stated:
  
     "This sounds like an old ska tune by Prince Buster. I think it's good fun, but I would probably not miss it if it mysteriously fell off the album and something else which sounds like Prince Buster popped up instead. 3/5".
  
  Whereas The Skinny commented:
  
     "Paolo Nutini seems to be suffering from an identity crisis. Having toyed with the idea of becoming Cat Stevens, he’s now decided he’s a seasoned reggae virtuoso. The thing is, on the entertaining 10/10, he’s pretty convincing. Whatever next, Paolo? A hair metal number? 3/5.".
