Critical Reception
"My Delirium" received several positive reviews from critics. Nisha Diu of The Sunday Telegraph described "My Delirium" as "...a moody, energetic anthem underscored by insistent drums and a soulful vocal..." Popjustice described the song as "brilliant", and Digital Spy entertainment reporter David Balls labelled the song as a "glorious slice of indie-electronica". In its review, Allmusic said the song "echoes the power pop of The Bangles and The Go-Go's". Not all reviews were positive; Artistdirect's Nathan Atnikov labelled the song, along with the entire Ladyhawke album, as "musically bland", and as "pedestrian dance music". Frazier McAlpine, on a BBC blog, described "My Delirium" as "grumpily delivered", and called Ladyhawke's voice "sulky" and "mardy-teen".

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“The critical method which denies literary modernity would appear—and even, in certain respects, would be—the most modern of critical movements.”
—Paul Deman (1919–1983)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
