Critical reception

Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five, writing, "An excellent dead slow, soul drenched ballad in much the same style as that purveyed by Boyz II Men. So slow, even in remixes, that club support is minimal, but specialist radio will love it."[1] John Mulvey from NME commented, "So Jodeci come all over all sultry and lonesome, look like rejects from the Dogg Pound and sound about as mean as Luther Vandross."[2]
