On its release, the track received generally favourable reviews from music critics.

It achieved success in Japan, peaking at number two on the Oricon Singles Chart and Billboard's Japan Hot 100 chart. It was certified gold, twice, by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for physical and digital shipments of 100,000 units.
