Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "For this sweet and romantic rhythm ballad, lead vocals are handled by Ralph Tresvant, whose smooth tenor range tingles with dewey-eyed youth appeal. As the song builds to a warmly harmonious climax, memories of New Edition's salad days will likely run rampant in the minds of longtime fans. Look for this one to heat up airwaves well into the fall season." [1]
