British columnist James Masterton viewed the song as a "catchy slice of European pop",[2] adding that it "is easily one of the best pop records on the chart at the moment."[3] A reviewer from Music & Media commented, "A big hit on British turf, Deuce's ace is finally hitting the Continent's baseline."[4] The magazine's Maria Jimenez described it as "slick Eurodance", complimenting it as a high quality track of its dance sub-genre.[5] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update viewed it as "ABBA-ishly sung cantering".[6] Pop Rescue declared it as a "perfect pop gem".[7]
