Receiving a mixed response from music critics, "Pyromaniac" was highlighted for being a strong track on Wish Bone but faulted for being inferior to her previous singles. A music video for the single was released on 13 September 2013 and directed by Rasmus Weng Karlsen and Jasper Carlberg. It features the singer in a variety of outfits.

Musically, "Pyromaniac" features a "sweet melody" and "occasional minor-key twists". Leonie Cooper from NME described the song's genre as "straight-up lo-fi funk" and claimed it "com[es] on like Robyn produced by Phoenix". Continuing, Michael Jose Gonzalez of Gaffa called it a mixture of pop, funk, and soul music. Throughout the song, Oh Land repeatedly sings "woo-hoo", which was considered reminiscent to some of her previous singles. Jennifer Joh from Neon Tommy compared it to the Cardigans' 1996 single "Lovefool".
