Critical reception

British Liverpool Echo described the song as a "mixture of house and gospel", that "matches rhythmic piano with big, passionate vocals."[2] Maria Jimenez from Music & Media viewed it as "soul powered". She added, "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."[3] 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."[4] The RM Dance Update declared it as an "excellent return to form".[5] An editor, James Hamilton, described it as a "Sedric Johnson groaned Norman Whitfield-goes-Euro type hybrid".[6]
