Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' magazine wrote, "Top 40 follow-up to the breakthrough hit "Dreams" shows Gabrielle in fine, feline voice, delivering sweetly romantic lyrics atop a plush shuffle beat. Coated with delicious strings and a light soul subtext, single has the strength to easily surpass its predecessor's chart peak and firmly establish Gabrielle as a radio star with a long and bright future." Alan Jones from 'Music Week' gave it four out of five. He added, "There's a surfeit of superior soul balladeering this week, and Gabrielle's is one of the best. it is likely to be huge." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update described it as a "pleasant nasally crooned rolling swayer".
