Critical reception

Bill Coleman from Billboard noted that "this hot R&B-inflected number brims with crossover potential. Great song, performance, and mix." [4] Ernest Hardy from Cashbox wrote, "Though it's been out for a little while, I'm listening a great deal to this single. When I first heard it some time ago at a party, I thought someone had dug up some old, vaulted Sylvester tune, given it a House mix, and created a masterpiece. Though Sylvester had nothing to do with it, this "positive vibe" track is still one of the best things I've heard all year, with a great piano break in the mix, and soaring, heart-felt vocals. Find this." [5]
