They concluded that "Dizzy isn’t a bad song – it’s perfectly fine – but beyond its very literal, nauseatingly topsy-turvy video, it’s far too safe to leave anyone reeling".[13]

Writing for The Telegraph, Neil McCormick wrote "Dizzy is an interesting modern electronic dance pop song, a blend of Balearic beats and sugary sentiments delivering upbeat sentiments with a minor chord melodic tension".[14] While writing for Clash, Robin Murray described "it's as a full-blown extravaganza. Olly lives and breathes every word, with the ultra-catchy dose of future-facing pop digitalism leaning on his fantastic vocals.[18]

In a review for The Times, Will Hodgkinson described it as a "super-catchy and hi-energy disco smash that has real innovation in its burbling production”. It also has “pleasingly nostalgic shades of classic Eighties synth-pop: Erasure, Soft Cell and, yes, the Pet Shop Boys”. He referred to it as "the best Eurovision entry we've had in years".[15] In a review for PinkNews, Marcus Wratten said "Dizzy is one of the better songs the UK has sent to the contest in recent years". They further added "It’s pulsating pop that is both simple yet effective. The fizzy ‘80s synths of the Pet Shop Boys are a clear influence, but with a touch of Steps’ playfulness, and – dare we say it – a hint of Aqua, too. That’s all to say that “Dizzy” is pop serving its primary purpose; it’s catchy and the hook has sticking power".[19]

Writing for BBC News, Mark Savage dubbed the song "a sleek, streamlined slice of modern pop" with an "instantly memorable" hook, but criticised the strength of the song, adding: "If there's a criticism, it's that the song could go harder. Instead of building to a climax, that final chorus is too polite"

I'm finding far more like it than dislike it.

Plus too, of people I know, a number of them who don't like it,don't like Eurovision or Europop anyhow.

So no way does 'everyone' think it crap ( we've had far more entries that could have been termed that but it's not valid for "Dizzy '.)

It probably won't win, it maybe even won't do well, it's not rocket science to say ANY UK entry won't do well at Eurovision.
It's a usually very easy and standard prediction.

However I hope it does.
I also know Olly will give his all to it and do.his very best,with what I consider one of the UKs best entries in recent years.
