Critical reception



Fiona Parker from 'The Mirror' described the song as "poptastic".Parker, Fiona (26 April 1997). "The Beautiful North & South". 'The Mirror'. 'Music Week' rated the song five out of five, picking it as Single of the Week. They added, "A release with so many factors in its favour: it's a storming pop song; the boyband are featuring in the BBC series 'No Sweat'; Tom Watkins is involved; and Tony de Vit has provided club mixes. Watch this soar." A reviewer from 'Sunday Mirror' wrote, "Green-haired boy band currently pulling in two million viewers a week on their Monkees-ish TV show. To be fair, it's a stonking dance tune which recalls Bros at their finest and will no doubt sell by the girl-full, but lads, you won't be men until you start shaving."'Sunday Mirror'. 4 May 1997. p. 31.
