Critical reception
Tyler Golsen in his review called the song "almost blindingly bright and exuberant", which groovy disco thump radiates summer energy.[ 2] Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote that "Turn Up the Sunshine" sounds like Antonoff and Parker are trying to recreate the euphoria of the music that Diana Ross and Chic recorded together in 1980, and that it is "a big, shiny dance-pop track with a utopian chorus and some nasty low-end work".[ 3]
