Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Top 40 follow-up to the breakthrough hit "Dreams" shows Gabrielle in fine, feline voice, delivering sweetly romantic lyrics atop a plush shuffle beat. Coated with delicious strings and a light soul subtext, single has the strength to easily surpass its predecessor's chart peak and firmly establish Gabrielle as a radio star with a long and bright future."[1] Alan Jones from Music Week gave it four out of five. He added, "There's a surfeit of superior soul balladeering this week, and Gabrielle's is one of the best. it is likely to be huge."[2] James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update described it as a "pleasant nasally crooned rolling swayer".[3] German band Culture Beat reviewed the song for Smash Hits, giving it three out of five.[4]
