Cashbox praised LaBelle's vocal delivery writing she "turns to what she does best here, stone blues" and the production, describing it as "underscored by subdued string arrangements and a touch of brass. Male backup chorus at the close is an added bonus" and called it a "spirited B/C chart contender."[4]
