Critical reception

Music & Media wrote that "a harmonica whirls prominently through this alternative electro pop/dance song, and wails towards the end like the one featured in the "Once Upon The West" film".[2] They also added that "although it already peaked in the UK, this throbbing, head-bobbing track is infectious and could go far on the Continent."[3] Pop Rescue noted that "this is quite a downbeat mellow track", complimenting the vocals by Linda Duggan as "big". They also noted "a little harmonica line."[4]
