Critical reception.
British "Birmingham Evening Mail" wrote, "More top pop sounds from the four girl group should see them holding their own despite all the competition around these days." Can't Stop the Pop complimented the hooks of the song as "unmistakeably Max Martin through and through." They added that the "glorious pre-chorus (“"We’ve got to stop this game, tell me do you feel the same?"”) is arguably the highlight of the song. It’s an effortless snapshot of pop music at its most uplifting and sunniest". "Music Week" stated that the group "should have no problems notching up their second hit with this melodic mid-tempo chugger. Co-written by former heavy metal man Max Martin, who has also penned some of the Backstreet Boys' most memorable tunes, it has sweet and very tight harmonies from the girls, some a little redolent of Abba — and that can't be bad." An editor from "Sunday Mirror" described the song as "gnawingly good pop which should have you all on solids by the end of the week."
