Critical reception

Music & Media wrote that Carroll is "more than just a dance diva with catchy repertoire. She can actually sing. The best way to prove that is always the ballad test, and she succeeds hands down."[2] Pop Rescue said that "this song is musically and vocally a really nice warm song – with plenty of space for Dina to show off her vocal diversity."[3]
