Critical reception

Music & Media wrote about the song: "In the wake of Don't Give Me Your Life, which was a pan-European success earlier this year, the Visnadi brothers haven't changed their winning team but have instead paired up with singer Shanie for what is likely to be their next Euro-dance hit."[1]
