Reception

Al Newstead from ABC called the song "a bittersweet banger" saying "Beginning with some spare piano notes, the atmospheric production and Tyrone's romantic vocals captures those pandemic blues of missing loved ones locked away across borders."[3]

Tyler Jenkins from Rolling Stone Australia said "Showcasing the outfit's inimitable ability to straddle the dualities of light and dark, 'Next to Me' sees the group promoting a level of maturity not quite seen before. Focused on themes of devotion and compassion, it's a self-described 'feel-good' track which stands in contrast to the sort of haunting atmosphere promoted on 'Alive'".[4]

Juan Llorens from We Rave You said "The subtle yet powerful buildups lead into a minimalistic-sounding house drop that, in Rüfüs Du Sol style, is filled with emotion, euphoria, and a sense of escapism".[2]

Rob Mullineau from OZ EDM called the song "Deep and enthralling" praising the "intensity of synths" calling them "truly something to behold".[5]
