Critical reception
Music & Media wrote about the song: "So unlike anybody else in Euro, the childlike songstress, the melody and the airy sample from Alannah Myles' A Song Instead Of A Kiss add up to music that's a new nursery rhyme for '90s kids. "What a classic melody," enthuses ORB Fritz/ Potsdam (Germany) head of music Bernd Albrecht. "You can hear at once that this song stands out off the whole Euro pack.""[1]
