Pitchfork says:
"It's not clear whether husband-and-wife duo Tennis had such effortlessly breezy songs in mind before they bought a sailboat and spent eight months on it off of the East Coast, but either way they've taken to heart the maxim to "write what you know" on "Marathon". Word is the band got its name when Alaina Moore was teasing her husband Patrick Riley for partaking in the "elitist rich man's sport," so it's either terrifically ironic or perfectly fitting that they should instead base early songs on the New England aquatic pastime. Fortunately this pop tune is so ingratiating that a debate over its intended irony seems moot.

On "Marathon", a bobbing organ buoys Moore's cooing vocals as she rhymes over clacking percussion about Coconut Grove, shifting winds, and even keels, while bright jangly guitars back a wordless chorus of self-harmonizing "ooh"s. Her own vocals eventually swell into wistful girl-groupy harmonies, the overall effect coming off like Dum Dum Girls playing a low-key set at a beach party."
