Critical reception

edit

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "The trio has already proved itself quite capable of climbing the charts; this one should have no trouble either. The US radio version is a little too bland, but EHR will love the mid-tempo reggae pop mix and its happy melodies."[3]
