Critical reception

Steve Baltin from Cash Box wrote, "Her remarkable streak should continue with this uptempo pop flavored tune. Slightly less rock oriented than "Leaving Las Vegas", her first single, this one seems to be a perfect fit for top 40, as well as CHR Modern Rock is a question mark, but top ten status for this kind of summer fun seems inevitable." [1] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said the song showed similarities to the Rolling Stones song "Honky Tonk Woman". [2]
