Sophie Heawood of The Guardian commented, "Seemingly composed entirely from air currents and fragments of Spanish guitar, the lead single from the 1988 album of the same name showed Sade at their most minimal".[1] Frank Guan of Vulture wrote, "There's a bit of an in-joke in the title track of Sade's third album: prior to renaming itself after, and reorganizing itself around its lead singer, the band had played under the name of Pride. Complete the equation and you'll discover that Sade is, in fact, Love, a fact amply borne out by the song itself."[2]
