Critical reception

Boy George reviewed the song for Select and named it Georges Single of the Month, saying, "I just think this is really exciting. Quite sexual and uplifting. There's bits of T.Rex and all sorts of influences but...everything is theft anyway." [4] Jordan Paramor from Smash Hits gave it three out of five in her review of the single. [5]
