Critical Reception
"Higher" on the whole received positive reviews from most critics who praised the song for being infectious and catchy. Ryan Love of Digital Spy said "The synth-laden 'Higher' has become an instant fan fave following recent live performances and, with its infectious chorus and super-sassy lyrics, it's not hard to see why. Una Healy's middle 8 isn't quite as thrilling on record as it is on stage, but don't let the ill-advised use of Auto-Tune spoil this moment of close-to pop perfection." Gavin Martin of The Mirror agreed saying "they assert a more serious side of their personality" with "the guitar-sprung Higher".Sarah-Louise James of The Daily Star called the song "catchy".[ When the new version premiered Robert Copsey of Digital Spy said "Over a bed of hawkish sirens and thumping electro beats, Frankie and co. inform us that no man is gonna hold them down... the sassy lyrics, perky production and a double chorus that sounds like it was recorded on a trampoline easily puts this track into pole position as our new favourite Sats single.
A review from OK! magazine said "Headlines! also includes 'Higher', a song that proves the girls have developed a feisty edge!" Fraser McAlpine of BBC Music was also praising the song when he reviewed Headlines!. After referring to "Missing You" 's inability to top the UK Singles Chart he said "[it's a shame] because in quality confections like 'Higher', and the languid 'Died in Your Eyes', there’s ample proof that the band’s heartbroken girls-together thing still has a lot going for it."[17] Jamie Gill of Yahoo! Music picked out "Higher" as one of two highlights on the album. Gill said "Higher may be blighted by the same bustlingly hectic production that infects so much of the album, but its surging beats and breathless chorus lift it to anthemic levels nonetheless...
Buzzjack Reception
The first Sats song I ever heard!

I take it you aren't a fan.
Art to my ears! Was my most listened to song ever, for a long time, I think it was until What About Us, but it is still at number 2, sitting not so far infront of Disco Love.
1. The Saturdays - What About Us (1,157)
2. The Saturdays - Higher (1,010)
3. The Saturdays - Disco Love (1,002)
4. The Saturdays - Notorious (881)
5. Ariana Grande - Break Free (873) < Which is actually higher but last.fm split my streams because of (feat. Zedd) gate.

Oh makes sense now.
It didn't help that it wasn't pushed properly for a while so it bounced round 20-30 for a few weeks.
Their best single getting no replies.
The Headlines poll should finish incredibly quickly though
With those sales at that time it really should've reached 8 or even 7.
