Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "swirling retro disco ditty that inspires a wonderfully loose and playful performance", and complimented its chorus as "instantly infectious and brimming with warm optimism." [2] Gil L. Robertson IV from Cash Box stated that "Lady Ross is in fine form with a confident vocal delivery, while her music backdrop is a throwback to the glory days of disco." [3] The Daily Vault's Mark Millan called it "a fine dance number that Ross revels in". [4] Quincy McCoy from the Gavin Report noted that it "kicks up a happy feeling of nostalgia along with keeping a contemporary feel that brings a smile to your feet." [5] Pan-European magazine Music & Media remarked that here, "La Ross shifts to a higher gear, the pop dance speed." [6]
A reviewer from Music Week rated it three out of five, describing is as "a slight affair". [7] Music Week editor Alan Jones deemed it "a fairly innocuous affair – pleasant, undemanding and vaguely anthemic in its regular mix". [8] Rupert Howe from NME said, "Needless to say Ms Ross' attempts to cut it on a hip-thrusting house track at an age when most women are claiming their bus passes proves to be no 'Chain Reaction'." [9] In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue felt that the singer's vocals "are strong and confident in the verses, but a little weaker in the chorus", adding that "she's joined by backing singers to help lift her higher." [10] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update declared it as a "soaring anxious wailer". [11]
