Critical reception
Barry Walters for The Advocate noted, "Remixer Hex Hector saves LaBelle from the usual R&B radio cheese, and the result is Miss Thing's first proper club hit since — whew! — “New Attitude”."[3] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "No one serves diva drama quite like Miss Patti. Her new album, "Flame", is ushered in with an irresistible, funk-fortified slice o' soul. Producers Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Big Jim Wright have created a track that is intelligent enough to please the artist's mature listeners while kicking a beat that's tough enough to lure the kiddies. By the end of the first chorus, you'll be doing a little shoulder-shakin' shimmy, wailing along to LaBelle's "my name is love" rants. R&B programmers need to care about this single—in fact, so do top 40 tastemakers."[4]
