Critical reception
editIn a retrospective review, Quentin Harrison from Albumism described the song as "luxurious" and "comprised of evocative strings, brass and bass rhythms".[4] AllMusic editor William Cooper named it a "sunny, up-tempo number" in his review of So Natural.[5] Pop Rescue called it "a grower" that "starts with a funky bassline".[6] Upon the release, Clark Collis from Select described it as "slinky" and considered it "being [a] prime contender for maximum K-Mart rotation".[7]
