Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine commented, "The track, which has been remixed by Mike "Hitman" Wilson, David Morales, and Todd Terry, is a slammin', R&B flavored houser that frames Christopher's fine voice with spiraling strings and a warm bass line. Guaranteed to pack dancefloors".[3] He also added that "the beats pump hard, the hook is undeniable, and Christopher proves that she is far from a one-hit wonder."[4] A reviewer from Music & Media wrote, "The '70s disco magic is revived."[5]
