Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "engaging, pop-flavored houser" and noted that "star-quality vocal performance is inflected with a proper helping of sass and charm," adding that the influence of producer Steve "Silk" Hurley is prominent, "which should help keep dancefloors filled."[1]
