Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard noted that Dennis "delivers another moment of dance/pop pleasure". He added that "a rolling, funk-style beat supports an infectious chorus and a glistening wash of synths. Dennis' playful vocal gives the tune a necessary lighthearted quality."[2] Randy Clark from Cashbox commented, "Although most would think with the Material Girl's Shep Pettibone and Tony Shimkin as co-writers the effort would take on a heavy Madonna slant, but out of left field, this song comes off more like Amy Grant's "Baby Baby"."[3] A reviewer from Music & Media wrote, "Shopping for sensual dance music, with the ambient tone of Madonna's Erotica? Try something else from the ladies department, where producer Pettibone is the latest fashion."[4] Peter Stanton from Smash Hits gave the song four out of five, commenting, "A fine return to form for Ms Dennis that should get chartland quaking in its boots again. A glorious singalonga chorus with a sexy groove".[5]

Music video

Its music video was shot on the seashore where she was walking and singing and displaying sea creatures, especially starfish. The video was directed by photographer and art director Zanna.
