Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Watch this suave vocalist build a larger, more ardent following once this slinky, downtempo pop/hip-hop ditty begins to circulate. Marriage of smooth and easy singing with quietly percussive groove is made in heaven, and equally viable in older and teen-skewed sectors." [1] Andy Beevers from the Record Mirror Dance Update gave it a score of four out of five, complimenting it as a "soulful plea for devotion". [3] Another Record Mirror editor, James Hamilton, named the song a "huskily moaned mellow 86.5bpm list of his 'lurve' wants" in his weekly dance column. [4]
