Critical reception


Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five. He wrote, "Potently re-emerging at what seems like more regular intervals than Haley's [sic] Comet, the Bee Gees should be launched into another chart orbit by this, their first single for Polydor since the early Seventies. The brothers' sense of strong melodic material is still intact, as is Barry's falsetto. Keith Cohen's sparse house/jack remix should put this on the dancefloor and, with radio already taking the bait, a substantial hit is not out of the question."[2]
