Critical reception

A reviewer from Music Week wrote, "There is a mellow mood on this muted, horn-led — almost disco — tune which acts as a showcase for Diane Charlemagne's vocal talents and Goldie's fluffier side. The anthemic quality and soulful delivery will win radio play, which will help broaden its appeal beyond the confines of Goldie's drum & bass constituency." [2]
