Critical reception

Billboard wrote that the song "has a stompin' alterna-rock attack that allows Myers to flex her quivering, melodramatic vocal style to maximum effect." They noted further that producer Desmond Child's "pop savvy is evident in a mix that counters the forceful guitar/drum execution with cushiony keyboards and a spree of fluttering sitar lines. Holding everything together is a sticky chorus that picks up to an anthemic pace by the track's close. In fact, it's easy to see a sea of punters chanting and punching the air in unison during a live performance of this hit-bound gem."[1]
