Critical reception

A reviewer from Music Week declared the song as "a equally fast-paced, Europop hit — worthy of a Eurovision Song Contest entrant. Produced by Flexifinger and with remixes by the same, Twyce As Nice and Trouser Enhusiasts, the hook isn't quite strong enough for it to hang around in the charts, but it will sell." [3]
