Critical reception
David Balls of entertainment website Digital Spy gave the song four out of five stars writing, "With its wistful chorus and cool-but-insistent beats, it's an affecting slice of break-up disco given a frisson of distinction by some authentically Chilean pan pipe flourishes [...] this has all the right ingredients to become a very big hit."[2] Fraser McAlpine of BBC Chart Blog gave the song a positive review stating, "There's some standard synthing in the background, which creates a lovely air of isolation, with Medina's haunting vocals on the top telling the story of a love gone wrong. [...] it's perhaps not groundbreaking in any big way, since you've probably heard a variation on the general theme of this song millions of times before, but this one is well-crafted enough to be counted among the better examples."[3]
