Critical reception

A reviewer from Music Week gave the song three out of five, adding, "More reggae-lite from the impeccably pecced Aussie. His huge fanbase should guarantee another Top 10." [2] Gavin Reeve from Smash Hits gave "Natural" four out of five, writing, "It's the title track off the album and a top swingy-beaty choon it is too, with Pete in fine voice and lots of those little 'wicky-wicky' noises that you get nowadays in the background. Watch it gently tickle the top end of the charts. Oo-er!" [3]
