Critical reception

Ron Wynn from AllMusic said the song "had decent production touches and frenetic vocals" in his review of Burnin'.[1] Cashbox wrote, "This single is a slow-paced track that has a real smooth sound to it. For the majority of the song, LaBelle holds back on those glass-shattering vocals that she's well known for. As a follow-up to her number one hit single, "Somebody Loves You", this one seems destined to follow along that same path. Beautiful song."[2]
