Critical reception

Upon the release, pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "A teasing and stomping hip hop number, built upon a nagging chorus. The repeated vocal interplay between the man (pleading endless love) and the woman (who's not really interested) works wonders. Deserves to be an EHR hit." [1]
