Critical reception
Chuck Taylor from 'Billboard' described the song as an "acoustic guitar-based pop tune that's at once intelligent, clever, and hooky enough to turn ships back to shore." He noted further that "this is mature pop from a budding artist who has plenty to say" and "it's got "hit" emblazoned on every note." In 2012, 'Porcys' listed the song at number 14 in their ranking of "100 Singles 1990-1999".
