"Platt's stunning way with words comes across in every single lyric of this song," wrote EUPHORIA, while the UK's NME declared "Imagine" to be "a powerful electro-pop ballad," noting, "You don't put out a song with the same title as a John Lennon classic unless you're sure you've nailed the assignment."
