Critical reception

Connor Terry from ESCUnited gave the song a positive review stating, "The Indie-pop group have released their first single since May, and it's titled "Stuck in the 80's". The track sticks to the band's distinct 80's synth-pop sound, and a driving bass beat from member Jeroným. There are also many nods to 80’s technology throughout the music video such as camcorders, karaoke machine, Playstation console, and alarm clock. If you were a fan of “Friend of a Friend”, then this is just up your alley."[5]
