Critical reception

In 2022, The Music reviewed the song, writing: "Brisbane isn't long remembered for its contribution to the 90s dance scene, but Sexing the Cherry tried to turn that around with this dance-floor banger that peaked just outside the top 40. Bit of saxophone. Big soaring chorus. What wasn't to like? Check out the high note at 3:10." [1]
