Larry Flick from Billboard stated in his review that producer/songwriter Steve "Silk" Hurley "once again reaffirms his position as Chicago's finest on this wriggling, R&B-inflected houser." He noted that newcomer Sims "exudes the confidence and range of a seasoned pro, while remixer Maurice Joshua drops another of his deep underground workouts."[2] Pop Rescue called the song "infectious", noting that it is "laden with those catchy italia-house pianos, and fast beats, her vocals cut through them perfectly as she sings about a love lost."[3]
