 Allmusic was also very positive, highlighting the song as an album standout and rated the song 4 stars out of 5.Larry Flick from "Billboard" wrote that "this forlorn love song is bolstered by a springy retro-pop arrangement that is brilliantly tweaked into a credible dance confection by post-producer Todd Terry.Singer Tracey Thorn's performance is a study in affecting, but restrained emotion, and the chorus instantly sticks to the brain."
