Critical reception

Stephen L. Betts from Rolling Stone said: "Reminiscent of a Nineties slow jam, in a contemporary Ed Sheeran-style glorious chorus and hook, but uninspiring disjointed verses in between. The tune spotlights Urban singing the verses in a higher register and giving the pleading lyrics a keener sense of urgency."^[2]
