Critical reception edit

Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five, writing, "Tonya, Joi and Di wrap their tonsils round a styllsh and sophisticated soul ballad that is already getting heavy play from specialist radio and has great crossover potential. The addition of radically different mixes of their hit "Don't Walk Away" should give it added impetus."[2]
