The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "Melvin Riley Jr.'s dead-straight delivery makes the less-than-stellar material emotionally effective—maybe not enough to take over the charts, but it will dominate a few bedroom playlists."[2] The Advocate noted that "the instrumentation is sparse, but the drums and drum machines pound out the beat to some quirky melody riffs."[3]
