Critical reception

Music & Media wrote about the song: "As her former Eternal colleagues move further into R&B, Louise has been just as effectively repositioned as a mainstream pop/dance act. Here, the process continues with a skilful rebuild of the 1980 Average White Band hit which becomes a slick and effective disco stomper with strong '70s overtones."[2]
