Critical reception
British newspaper 'Liverpool Echo' described the song as a "mixture of house and gospel", that "matches rhythmic piano with big, passionate vocals.""New singles". 'Liverpool Echo'. 22 April 1994. p. 35. Retrieved 28 November 2020. Maria Jimenez from 'Music & Media' stated, "On Rollo's Rushin' Mix, the message is delivered via a fierce house basis of rhythms and grooves and overwhelmingly passionate vocals courtesy of Sedric Johnson." Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' wrote, "This belated follow up to Lift My Cup uses the same formula of Sedric Johnson's strong gospel-influenced soul vocals backed by Rollo's charging house rhythms. Unfortunately the production does not sound as fresh this time around." The magazine's 'RM' Dance Update deemed it an "excellent return to form". James Hamilton called it a "Sedric Johnson groaned Norman Whitfield-goes-Euro type hybrid".
Music video
A music video was made to accompany the song. It was directed by British director Lindy Heymann and released on April 25. In the video, the band get on down in Long Beach and LA with family and friends.
