Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard magazine gave a positive review of the song, noting that it "shows Mr. D. in super-fine lyrical form. Atop a head-bobbin' funk/hip-hop groove, he gets all hot'n'sweaty about the girlie of his dreams. Track gains added muscle from an oh-so-soulful chorus that contrasts the rapped verses with smooth singing." [1] Paul Barnes of HotNewHipHop wrote, "For many listeners, this song is an excellent example of how sampling can blend well without it being the selling point. While not necessarily 'jazz rap,' it's definitely not an aggressive or emotional song, either. Heavy D drops three smooth and easygoing verses that lock in on the atmosphere of the production around him." [4]
Ralph Tee from Music Week's Record Mirror Dance Update commented, "Heavy and his Boyz return with a breezy hip hop mid-pacer that was written by Pete Rock and Heavy D, while the loop is actually a re-creation of the intro to Luther Vandross's 'Don't You Know That?'. The album Nuttin' but Love is firing, from all reports and while this little ditty is unlikely to give him a chart smash like 'Now That We Found Love', it's the sort of tune that will please his hard core of fans today and be a sought-after collectors' item in the future."
