Upon its release as a single, Alex Kadis of Smash Hits stated, "As usual, it's a semi-slow number which she grumbles ferociously in her super-deep 'mature' voice and, as usual, no one knows what she's going on about. That said, it is one of the better Tanita Tikaram songs – very tuneful and melodious (except when she's singing)."[1] Jim Whiteford of The Kilmarnock Standard praised it as a "strong new single" and continued, "Her album success may well cross over to the singles chart with this outing."[2] Everett True of Melody Maker commented that Tikaram "sounds so middle-aged" and added that the song "isn't bad, it's just so menopausal".[3] Robin Smith of Record Mirror described it as "utterly and completely turgid" and wrote, "High time Tanita's record company threw a bucket of cold water over her and told her to wake up. She's becoming so introspective that her singles are rambling off into the distance, making no impact at all."[4]
