Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "shows them floating light and airy harmonies over a thumping beat and blindingly bright keyboards. In the writing and production of the song, the Berman Brothers have wisely crafted faux-funk and giddy hi-NRG versions to accommodate the fickle, varying needs of pop radio, while the red-hot remix team of Ernie Lake and Bobby Guy toughens the bassline, adding a bit of club credibility. In all, a solid, highly marketable package from an act that you will likely be hearing quite a bit of in the coming months."[2] Gerald Martinez from New Sunday Times declared it as a tune "well worth listening to", noting its "techno-pop".[3]
