criticism
Fraser McAlpine wrote for BBC 's Chart Blog that the song was “sad” and “dignified,” as well as praising the great chorus and “the reed chimes, the bell sticks, the sparkling piano and booming drums, and especially the sad anger so that it sounds both magical and profound. “(English:“ the tubular bells, the sleighbells, the twinkling piano and the booming drums, and all of that mournful huffing, and it sounds both magical and deep. ”) The digital Spy critic Robert Cospey gave the "Schnulze" (English: "tearjerker") five stars because he claims that the song will blossom into an uplifting anthem (English: "blossoms into an uplifting anthem").
