Critical reception
British newspaper 'Birmingham Evening Mail' wrote, "More top pop sounds from the four girl group should see them holding their own despite all the competition around these days.""Single of the Week". 'Birmingham Evening Mail'. 28 April 1998. Retrieved 1 December 2020. Can't Stop the Pop complimented the hooks of the song as "unmistakeably Max Martin through and through." They added that the "glorious pre-chorus (Weve got to stop this game, tell me do you feel the same?) is arguably the highlight of the song. Its an effortless snapshot of pop music at its most uplifting and sunniest". An editor from 'Sunday Mirror' described it as "gnawingly good pop which should have you all on solids by the end of the week."'Sunday Mirror'. 5 April 1998. p. 43. Retrieved 28 November 2020.
