Reception

Popular blog Popjustice made the single their Song of the Day on December 30th 2008, saying “Everyone loves Alesha Dixon. Most people are quite indifferent about purchasing her musical releases. As time goes by we probably have to accept this as fact, but songs like ‘Breathe Slow’ do offer some hope that she might ‘hit the mark’ and have a big proper hit one day.”[1]

Trash Lounge said “It’s nowhere near the same league as ‘The Boy Does Nothing’, but ‘Breathe Slow’ is still a pretty decent offering from its hit-and-miss parent album.” The song entered the Trash Lounge Absolute Tunes Top 10 on week commencing 5 January 2009 at No9,[2] rising next week to No5.[3]
