Critical reception

Jerry Smith from Music Week wrote, "Nowhere near as compulsive as her "Dinner with Gershwin" hit, but this, the title track from her latest album, written and produced by Harold Faltermeyer, does have a certain naggingly quality to it." [3] Tom Hibbert from Smash Hits constated that "this woman can sing like a dream", commenting further that "this may not be her finest moment (that was "State of Independence", the greatest record ever made) but it's completely fab nonetheless, a crisp and swinging pop tune with admirably absurd references to outer space. Bravo, as they say, madam." [4]
