Robert Copsey from the entertainment website Digital Spy gave to the song four stars out of five,saying:"Fortunately,the track - much like the video - is the very definition of a summer party stomper. Reswizzled with extra blips and beats from the album version,you'll barely have time to knock back your G&T before the urge to hit the dancefloor kicks in,largely thanks to a chorus that doesn't so much encourage you to raise your arms in the air as command it.". [12] "Fraser McAlpine" from BBC gave the song 5 stars (out of 5),saying that:"well it's just a brilliant song. It's sung brilliantly,with brilliant barking-angel harmonies and brilliant rumble-tum verses and brilliant cloudbustingly euphoric choruses. Alexandra sounds every inch the disco diva - by which I mean she sounds torn apart by the wonder of the emotions she is experiencing,even though lyrically,those emotions amount to nothing more than a simple description of meeting someone you fancy at a party. [13] That Grape Juice said that "I'm still waiting to hear that 'mind-blowing' track I just know Ms. Burke has in her to deliver." and BBC Newsround said that "Her voice is earthy and gravelly,and really cool on this single."
