Ryan Middleton from Music Times said "The melodic indie-pop tune it brought together with a steady percussion, soft pads and airy keys for another piece of synth-pop gold from RÜFÜS".[1]
In a review of Bloom Marcus Teague from The Guardian said ""Like an Animal" ripples with plastic guitars and stuttering hi-hats, evoking both the promise of early evening hedonism and the best of Van She."[2]
Jacob Robinson from Daily Review, in a review of the album Bloom, said ""Like an Animal" is a glossy and pulsating EDM pop tune with a gigantic drop that descends into a hectic dance breakdown."[3]
The music video was directed by Katzki and released on 22 September 2015.[4]
