New York Post calls it "a superb comic number, describing it as "a denialist fantasy on par with "By the Sea " in Sweeney Todd". HighDef Digest said it was "a nice break from the darkness and action". The Morton Report described it as "Josh Gad’s spotlight number", and noted that it "might not exactly drive the narrative, but it’s hilarious." Rochester City Newspaper said "Josh Gad’s distinctive, totally-committed performance gives In Summer a lot of heart. Variety said it was the "most inspired musical number", and added it was "wryly visualized by Buck and Lee and expressed in playful lyrics". CinemaBlend said it was "the film's best song", and National Catholic Register called it "the movie’s funniest scene and best song".
Time dubbed it "the movie’s mid-show-stopper" and "a musical-comedy miracle", writing "A soft-shoe number with brilliant choreography of character, voice and visuals (it ends with a swirling tracking shot that quotes the one that accompanied Julie Andrews singing ' The Sound of Music'), 'In Summer' makes Olaf's weather delusion sound and look deliciously delirious". It didn't work." : 37:05 Critical reception The song replaced an earlier song for Olaf titled "Hot Hot Ice," which Anderson-Lopez described as " Hot Hot Hot meets Simon & Garfunkel. He argued that the song was not morbid, and is instead filled with a "youthful optimism", as Olaf still acts like the ages of Elsa and Anna when they created him - he is the last vestige of their forgotten past - and therefore everything he does has a naïve and hopeful quality to it. The songwriters asked him to do "the operatic ending", a request that amused Gad. Gad also appreciated being able to perform a song "without 20 f-bombs in it", so it was acceptable for a younger demographic.
The song is considered darkly comical large in part because every single thing that Olaf does is something that will only make him melt faster.Īccording to Josh Gad, since Robert Lopez had already co-written The Book of Mormon (in which Gad was the original Elder Cunningham), Lopez already knew what type of voice he had, and so that influenced the type of song that was written for him. He is seen in several positions, including in shades, relaxing in a hot tub, playing on a beach, dancing around sand people, and relaxing on a picnic, unaware that as a snowman he will melt, and therefore his dream is in vain. The song is performed by Olaf ( Josh Gad), and is a comedic and ironic ballad in which Olaf expresses how he wants to experience the season of summer.
