AllMusic	[3]

Jose F. Promis of AllMusic gave the single 4 out of 5 stars, writing: "This is the type of seminal recording that, since it was never a hit upon initial release, deserves to be rediscovered by a music supervisor and used in a film -- it's that good, and it's a true shame that something as timeless and lovely as this ditty can't muster enough muscle to dent the U.S. pop charts."^[3] Jay Lustig of NJ.com called it "a quintessential summertime song -- warm, relaxed and effortlessly catchy."^[5]
