Critical reception


Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as "a rousing, gospel-flavored pop/houser. Anthemic chorus is empowered by Biti's inspiring lead vocal and a rush of choral chants. Fast picking up club adds, this contagious ditty is a worthy addition to pop and urban radio formats."[1] Maria Jimenez from Music & Media viewed it as "outstanding", adding that it "rides high on a positive tip charged by an up-tempo house beat."[2] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update called it a "frisky"[3] and "striking Biti wailed snappy disco-garage canterer".[4] Another editor, Andy Beevers deemed it an "excellent garage song".[5]
