Critical reception

Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song a score of three out of five, writing, "A popular item on import for some time finally released here, and an impressive soul/swing debut from the 20-year-old Georgian, who has already played a handful of dates here. Not mega, but a hit."^[3] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "When a "swing beatle" pleads his love, you can be sure that it happens in the most passionate rhythm imaginable. For lovers with endurance."^[4]
