Critical reception

Anders Nunstedt from Expressen called it a "ballad that would sit well on Mazarin."[6] (Per Gessle's solo album). While Björn Solfors of Aftonbladet named it a "ballad in the spirit of 'Tycker om när du tar på mej'."[7] The song was dubbed a "Spector scented ballad" by David Stark from the Ystads Allehanda newspaper[8] and in another review of the album by Svenska Dagbladet, Stefan Malmqvist said "In the song, you can even here a little echo of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe".[9]

Composition

The writer of the song Per Gessle said, "This is a sad song, it is about a guy who still has hope."[10] Anders Herrlin, Gyllene Tider's bass player, said it was Finn 5 fel!'s "only real ballad, with strings and everything."[7]
