Critical Reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

"Tell me baby if it's wrong/ to let my hands do what they want?" she purrs in her sensual and sultry tones, accompanied by that saxophone hook spicier than a extra-hot peri peri chicken from Nandos - and, we should add, just as lip-lickingly addictive. "I got a sex drive to push the start," she repeats before asking her fella to "surf her seas", prompting the response, 'Oh love we get it, you don't live your life like a saint!'. [2]
