Critical reception

from Billboard wrote, "After a healthy run on import, British lass is poised to duplicate the success of her now-classic hit "Where Love Lives". String-lined remixes give the R&B/house tune a light and airy vibe. And how 'bout those vocals! They evoke images of a young Dionne Warwick. Brilliant." Music & Media noted, "The recipe for good '70s soul used by the likes of Gloria Gaynor and Sister Sledge proves to work as well in our time, the main differences being more beats per minute and less bass."
