Critical reception
An article published by Evening Standard ranked "High" as the 11th-best Cure song, calling its lyrics "dexterous and playful" and describing the song in its entirety as a "lovable thing". Larry Flick of Billboard also gave the song a positive review, calling it "subtle but infectious". Conversely, Michael Gallucci of Diffuser described the song as "kinda blah". Track listings
