Critical reception
Bill Coleman from Billboard complimented the song as "tasty" and "an even stronger club offering", than "1-2-3". He added that vocalist Pauline Henry's delivery "sends shivers and has been called by one colleague "the Candi Staton of the '90's"."[2] A reviewer from Music & Media wrote that "this self-produced and self written soul number has a house rhythm track and an excellent vocal performance. The record sparkles with gospel energy and the inclusion of an unexpectedly messy piano is great. Give it a play."[3]
When re-released in 1990, the magazine stated that "following up their massive I Still Haven't Found..., this electryfing act brings us more house-pulsed dance. Soulful vocals and a rocking piano riff."[4] Nick Robinson from Music Week commented on the re-release, "This time the funky drum, subtle piano and wailing vocal track should make a sizeable dent in the pop chart, building on the success of Still Haven't Found.. earlier this year."[5] In her review of The Chimes album, Miranda Sawyer from Smash Hits noted Pauline Henry's "remarkable voice" and described the song as "classy".[6]
