Critical reception
James Masterton for Dotmusic felt 'Power of a Woman' "is less of an immediate pop hit that some of its predecessors, instead being a rather dark yet no less brilliant R&B track. That alone is enough to make it the biggest new hit of the week". [1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media noted that the British trio "manages to sound both forceful and feminine at the same time. Their seductive voices blend in well with the contemporary R&B-influenced production." [2] A reviewer from Music Week gave it five out of five and named it Single of the Week, complimenting it as "a sinuous, piano-propelled R&B number, with US appeal stamped all over it." [3]
David Quantick from NME found that the song is based "rather heavily" on The Emotions' 'Best of My Love'. [4] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update described it as a "powerfully wailed and cooed excellent US-style jillswinger". [5] Also Gavin Reeve from Smash Hits gave 'Power of a Woman' five out of five, writing that "this is absolutely brilliant. A really confident, upbeat pop song with the usual supply of top-notch harmonies, a chorus that sticks in your head like superglue and all those kung fu-type noises they have a habit of putting in the background. Easther, Vernie and Kelle have never sounded better". [6]
