Critical reception

Alex Henderson from AllMusic described the song as "appealing". ^[3] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "After numerous disappointments, Khan re-emerges with her most satisfying recording in years. She wraps that one-of-a-kind voice around a slinky and subtle R&B/funk jam that will inject a much-needed breath of fresh air into blah top 40 and urban formats. Fierce remixes by Dave Shaw and Boilerhouse are already kicking up a storm at club level." ^[4] David Browne from Entertainment Weekly stated that the singer "gives it her all", wrapping her voice around "the delicious hook" of "Love You All My Lifetime". ^[5]
