Critical reception


Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, that on the song, the band is "returning to the slick dancefloor balladry that first brought them to the Top 5 in the shape of Deep. From here they can clearly only go from strength to strength."[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "East 17 has got the Walthamstow blues. The teen stars with street credibility can be "softies" too, suffering from homesickness while touring abroad as we learn from this ballad."[3] Alan Jones from Music Week rated it four out of five. He added, "A polished, shuffling vehicle for the usual East 17 posturing and trademark touches, with a slow rap to the fore and a subtle melody, Just what fans ordered, in fact."[4]
